Just picked up a Jet 14 saw. Will be ordering the riser kit from Amazon.(anywhere else???) Never even seen a bandsaw used before. I'm strictly an amateur that basically does everything by myself on my 130 year old house & my 28 year old boat. I do know there have been many times I've been cutting something & thinking it would be a lot easier with a bandsaw.The saw I've got is a three speed from 700 to 2400 fpm. I have done metal cutting using air tools, sawsall & the rotary tool fitted with the metal blade. So, the 700 speed will come in handy. Don't know what I would use the 1500 for. The 2400 is a little slow for wood but will work. At this time I don't forsee getting into cutting veneers.
Having said all that typing with my Unifinger typing: what blades do I need? The saw will handle 1/4" to 3/4". From what I've read, get either Lenox or call Suffolk Machinery & get the Timberwolf blades. Buy three & get the fourth for free. Any advice?
