Bimini. I'm an owner of a new Mark 7 also. Been fun learning, but definitely good to have a resource for "stupid" questions. For instance...How do I mount a fence to my bandsaw?
Any way keep posting.
BTW -- I have a vacation place in the "Redneck Riviera". Love it.

Re: just bought a Mark 7
Just in case your fence question was an issue for you rather than an example question -- Answer: You need a bandsaw fence! I know of two sources for new fences. There may be more. 1) Shopsmith; http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/cata ... wfence.htm 2) Kreg bandsaw fence. Shopsmith also carries these. http://www.shopsmith.com/ownersite/cata ... wfence.htmJTD7366 wrote:Bimini. I'm an owner of a new Mark 7 also.

IIWM, I would clean off the oil and wax it.
I assume that oil it a rust preventative, not intended as a lubricant(or dust collector

Re: just bought a Mark 7
Well, back in the days of UseNut and FidoNet, we got annoyed at people who asked questions that had been answered too often. Therefore I tend to lurk through past posts and search for answers.JTD7366 wrote:Bimini. I'm an owner of a new Mark 7 also.

I am aware that in these days of Web fora that it is accepted practice to ask first and read later, but I'm somewhat set in my ways.
Besides, this is a fun forum to read through. And I'm sure to ask something before I get very familiar with this fancy contraption.

Re: just bought a Mark 7
Alrighty then. I'll be sure to do that before my next sawdust flingin' episode. I've only done some quicky cross cuts for a short patio fence so far, but I NEED to build a bench or two.JPG wrote:IIWM, I would clean off the oil and wax it.

Sorry, I don't mean to hijack your thread, woodywork. Just saw some familiar topics here.

Re: just bought a Mark 7
When I first posted this I was so busy with my mark VII I forgot to get back on here. Yes!! It was a steal. Its amazing, I may even turn myself in to the local PD. They will probably look at me strange at first but when the captain, who is a woodworker finds out why, he'll say "arrest that feller!"
Re: just bought a Mark 7
Great deal!!!!
It aint madness, its insanity, because we keep doing the same thing over and over again and get the same results, buying SS stuff.
