I saw comments in the past that the window got so dirty with saw dust you could not see through it. I don't know why that would be. The picture of my window has never been cleaned since it was installed over 15 years ago.Dansmith wrote:Looks great, John. I may have to try that also.

Re: idea for the band saw to ponder
When I modified mine I just cut a circular hole in the over the tension gauge. I did not bother to install any kind of "window" material over the hole. It doesn't look as good as some of the mods I've seen but it sure works. It also doesn't seem to leak sawdust in operation; but then again I always run it with the dust collector on.
