Has anybody done this?

Exclusive, reversible blade guides allow you to twist the blade to a 30" angle from the bandsaw's frame, so you can achieve this unusual capability.

How easy is it to set it up to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance for any feedback you might be willing to provide.

Cool. Thanks for that link. I guess I could make my own insert to adjust to the 30 degree twist if I feel it's necessary.

Hi,

I did play with this once. You don't gain much doing this, max width is like nominal 4" (you could look up the real number it is less then 4")

Watched the video, pretty much a train wreck. The angle is I believe 30 degrees not 45 and the wood he show will not work as it is much wider then the limit.

I guess it is an interesting feature that could be useful, but very limited as far as I'm concerned and it has not come into play for me except for me playing with the setup i.e. I have not used it for any project.

Not unusual considering the 'star'!;)

He's doing a great job but he is putting more work into getting bandsaw than I would be willing to do.
