Yes! All around a good idea, and the more safety things we have in the shop the better.

I have a Harvey and this is one of the few saws I’d replace it with. Of course the dream is to just add this on top of the Harvey. But will I ever need such a saw. Who knows. The throat capacity is the big advantage over Harvey and as far as other brands it usually takes an 18” to even compete on specs.

$700! Crazy!

I like the Harvey brand, just wish they made bigger saws for sure.

@@blacktenonfurniture Spec wise the Harvey’s are all 3hp motors and 14”+ resaw capacity. 13.5”+ throat depth. Both the ambassador and alpha have 14” resaw capacity so it takes the equivalent 17” or above from other brands to beat the resaw capacity so it it’s and they still usually have a weaker motor. Now not all motors are the same and manufacturers can fudge the numbers so it’s who you trust. The issue is even though these are highly capable and better than most, the top bandsaw manufacturers have bigger units for industrial work with larger throat capacity to cut slabs etc. I love bandsaws and that saw you have now is the cream of the crop to me barring old school refurbs.

@@blacktenonfurniture I’m excited for you so I can only imagine it it were mine!

Thanks!

Where did you even find that it's was for sale

Haha! This was in a local auction of somebody cleaning their whole barn out.

Thanks for the kind words and watching! I have lots planned for this channel and definitely looking to produce higher quality videos than this. I’ve been lucky for sure for good deals! Actually have a new addition already since filming! Good luck with your channel!

Thank you!

❤

Thanks!

It required some torque! I may have loosened it up with an impact driver.

Will do!

It was awesome to meet you too!! It was a great time!

It’s never too late! Just make sure you have good lighting if you are going to do a darker color.

I do have hearing protection in (too small to see). Eye protection, but was not wearing a respirator. This machine does pretty well as it’s hooked up to dust collection.

Was referring to footwear

Yes it was!

The weld started to give seconds before the snap, which is visible in the video by the blade bouncing a bit. In the moment I noticed the shake in the blade but did not relate that to the blade weld breaking. But I have learned for the future that this blade behavior is most likely a a failing weld, and might have enough time to turn the machine off before it snaps. Overall a pretty “safe” machine to have the blade fail on, as long as you are keeping your blade guard low.

@@blacktenonfurniture Stay safe, man. Lord willing, you don't have to learn hard lessons and keep all your fingers

Facts.

I too believe this to be true 😂

lol. 😂 it was turned off and unplugged. Lol

That one was the Hitachi B-600a I believe. Pretty crazy bandsaw. 😂

Thanks! And I have been lucky and patient enough for sure! Back when I needed basically all my tools I pretty much lived on Facebook marketplace refreshing the page all the time. 😂

Definitely!!

Thank you! Definitely thought workflow first and keeping it simple and easy to move around in was pretty important. I Definitely will grow into it with more tools eventually I’m sure, but as of now it works well!

Thanks! I did have a spindle moulder for a little bit, but it did just seem too large for what I needed. I get away with routers and the router table. 👍

No problem!

Thanks! I have the stapler linked in the description!

Facts. 💯💯

I avoid the harsh stuff, I’m sure it works well though.

Thanks for the comment! 😂🙌

Thanks!

Yes! Sorry about that, I have since learned how to avoid that. My future videos will not have this issue! Thanks for watching still!

Thank you! I noticed all that after the fact and unfortunately did not want to re shoot the whole video. 🙄 I appreciate the info! I normally am shooting off a dedicated light so this was my first time shooting off my leds for a longer video.

@@blacktenonfurnitureI totally get that lol. Most people wouldn’t notice it, but I fought it for a while in my shop. It all looked great though!

Thanks!! Definitely a priority for me. Sometimes it’s the little things (like my paint) that can make such a difference in a shops appearance!

Thanks!! Hopefully will have a full one by the end of July!

🫢🤩🤩

Hey! Yes, my main area is 26x26, then the closet butts Into some of it. That is not including the side room. Overall footprint is 32x32 if I remember correctly. I have 12 220volt outlets and 14 110 volt, all scattered around. I had the benefit of planning the space out for my shop, so had the electrical laid out for that. Lots of breakers!! Definitely go overboard if you can. Good luck!

I’m very grateful to have this shop!

Thanks for watching! 🙌
