Mostly my saw sits there close to my workbench collecting more dust than it makes. I did try a 'WoodSlicer' blade from Highland Hardware and it changed my mind a little. Still, with so many other tools in the shop clamoring for attention, it pains me to admit my bandsaw sits idle most of the time. Mostly my bandsawing is limited to roughing out an ogee foot for a dresser, a handle for a cutting board, a race car for my neighbor's son, a panel blank for a template. Sometimes I'll resaw for a few hours if I can get a few extra pieces from the bandsaw's narrow kerf.
Lets find out.
Included with the set for my saw was only one page of instructions. All the pictures on the page show my machine with the guides attached, blade installed and the saw table removed. I tried it without removing the table and leaving the blade installed. The two slotted machine screws from the original guides aren't used but are replaced with two Allen-wrench capscrews which seem much more substantial than the original. After reinstalling the blade comes the alignment procedure.
