Maybe the band saw is new and never put together. There is also a table raiser bracket attached to the carriage.

They are like the L. L. Bean Main hunting boots, rubber bottoms and leather uppers. That pair is from Cabela's however. Also they are not high top but low just like a regular shoe.

Same situation though. Clamps to table support tubes/rods which one does not want to mar.

Well, you correct me so I thought I would return the favor.

All of the table parts are cleaned except for the tops. This time I glass blasted them and then used a 2 1/2" cup fine "brass" (not) brush from Lowe's on the left end of the shorty. Worked like a charm, fast and no cleanup on both steel and aluminum. I still want to try the product De...

Yes that is a model 500. The table is smaller but it looks to be the proper length. A jointer is a good tool but since I have been buying saw blades that give a glass smooth finish I don't use the jointer much. If you want to do lathe work buy some used tools first and learn how to sharpen them. Do...
