Jet JWBS 16 inch bandsaw
My bad ass bandsaw has arrived. 
here is a time lapse of it arriving… daaaaang, it’s big. Check out the height in relation to me. I’m 6 foot. Jumbo bandsaw, w0000t!!!!! I got it all slopp-i-ligned up and tried it out. Bad ass. I had to laugh at myself as I was rapidly looking around the garage for ANYthing to cut.
jules: “Vincennnnt? Are we happy?”
vince, staring inside the glowing briefcase : “… huh? Oh, yeah, we’re happy.”
update march 3 2005 – I love this bandsaw. I use it every week. I just changed to a 1/4″ 6 tpi blade last night as I probably totally thrashed the blade it came with… I tried cutting almost everything I had in my shop.. soft wood, hard wood, plastic, PVC, aluminum, steel (umm, don’t do that)… I’m totally satisfied with how it performs. I only wish I’d sprung for the factory fence when i order the bandsaw… been struggling a bit with what to do about a fence since I didn’t buy the jet fence. I’m just now wondering if I should try grinding out half the teeth in the factory blade for a skip-tooth config, and maybe try sharpening it myself? maybe too much work… new blades cost about $20-200, depending on quality. Hmm.
