I just bought the Bauer Band Saw today and a quick review

[nrscroller]

I purcahsed the Beaur Saw today at Harbor FReight and for the money it is ctioa very nice save. The Kobalt and Performace Saws are junk, this is all metal covers and very well made. It took me a short time to set it up and it came with a 1/4 inch blade. For the money if your looking for a budget saw this is the one to get. I just cut some bb plywood to see how it would do. The only thing I did not like is the instructional manual   is not real clear and not enough diagrams for different things, especially setting the blade guide blade rollers. I called them at their headquarters and they are going to email me more information on it. It has a very easy tension lever also. They don't carry the blades yet but you can get the blades at Menards. it takes from 1/8 thru 3/8. Also saw is very quiet running.  Just my 2 cents worth., I don't do a lot of heavy sawing so that will serve me fine.

Happy to hear you like it.. I would look at having blades made to the length you need instead of buying the box store blades..I think the name of the company I order my blades from is PSwood.com but I think the brand is Timberwolf.. you can order blades most any size you need and these blades are way better than what you'll get at a box store..

I too would recommend Timberwolf blades. They should be standard size blades. 59-1/2". Now there are different blades.  PSwood has a chart that explains different blades.

I find these diamond files to be very useful and they are very inexpensive.

I have owned Dremel tools for many years, and I currently own two of them. When I want to sand a project, I use a Grizzly G9928 Flex Shaft Grinder. This tool allows foot pedal control of the speed, and unlike the Dremel, you can sand at slow speeds with no issues.

So, what do I use the Dremels for? One is permanently mounted and used as a drill press, and the other is more or less permanently mounted in a router base.
