Just picked up a new Jet 18" 3HP bandsaw.
I spent this evening getting it home and uncrated, and getting the outlet wired up.
Heavy little booger thats for sure. Fortunately I had one of my boys available to use as a mule :)
I think he was trying to tell me about that fish he caught:

I tried staring at it for awhile but it seemed the thing wasn't going to get up and go into the shop on its own. How lazy is that?

My wife found out I ordered this when Woodcraft called and reported it was in. I don't think I'm getting anything else for Christmas.

At over 400lbs it was a bit of a bear to move. The boy was a good sport. So I let him do all the work :o... just kidding.

Uncrated and on its mobile base. Still need to finish the setup. Ever have a dozen things you need to do and your behind on them all? Thats my life...

Stock blade is coming off, I have some new Timberwolf blades on the bench. I've been grunting like Tim the Toolman all evening. My wife told me to shuttup. Not very nice of her :p
On my way tomorrow to Keim Lumber in Charm, Ohio tomorrow, with a side visit to Hartvill Tools. I am sure I won't come home with anything. :D.. just kidding again. Tis the season! ;)
