*I know this is a power tool but I’d like it to stay in this section because I need the handtool users perspective.
With my new, much larger shop hopefully finished by the end of the month, I plan to finally finish setting up my bandsaw. It’s been sitting in the garage for six years waiting on me to install the table and do final adjustments. I’d like to say this is all due to the difficulty getting power to it but power tools intimidate me. I think, however, once I move to the new shop then I’ll be ready to actually use the blasted thing.
It is a Grizzly 14” deluxe 30th anniversary model (G0555lanv). I have the original blade that came with it on it and I bought a new blade that was recommended at the time — though I don’t remember the new blade and only the Lord knows where in the garage it is.
I am wondering if there are any improvements/upgrades I should invest in? For instance, I have had a Kreg replacement fence in my Lee Valley wishlist for years now because I saw that they have a resawing attachment.
I plan on mostly using it for long rips and resawing so should I have different blades?
