Hi I"m a new member and was wondering if anyone has any experience with the older jet bandsaw I recently bought. its and older model painted in blue not white as the newer model saws are. I just got it home last weekend and have ordered a new blade as the old one is shot. I was wondering if I should upgrade to a set of carter guides? this saw already has a set of bearing guides presently but not sure about the adjustments on them, the saw came with no manual. I just downloaded one from the internet but it appears to be a later model year then the one I have is,
however other then the fence this all looks to be the same. anyone have any experience with this model this is actually my first bandsaw and I want to set this up correctly . I plan to do mostly resaw work with it for pannels for bookcase doors and cabinets I build I'm tired of using just stock 1/4 inch plywood and would very much like to bookmatch wood for the doors I make. thanks in advance for any help mark trhornberry
