Hello all,
Well I'm getting ready in the next couple of weeks, to order a go555 bandsaw. After much research I feel it's the best fit for my shop needs and most importantly budget. With all that being said is there anything I should go ahead and order when I order the saw? Is the mobile base grizz recommends a good one to get? I have been debating on getting the riser block. I plan on doing some resawing on a limited basis, but I dont want to have to spend forever slowly feeding boards through, so is 6 inches of resaw best capacity for this saw? Are the blades grizz sells good? (I've read many times the factory blade is so-so and an immediate upgrade is recommended to either wood slicer or timberwolf) Is there any way to tell if this saw will go on sale any time soon? I know they were 395 at Christmas, and I should have pulled the trigger then. And finally, shipping, will they pull up and drop it off by the garage? I may not be home at delivery, but the wife can tell them to put it in front of the garage door if they'll do that. Thanx in advance for any input.
