    Explain Your DIYGK Screen Name!

    Shredder 2, My Design Hybrid Build

    I have researched this band saw and from what I can tell is that the stock blade is basically junk!! I am still using the stock blade but will need to change it very soon. Some of the teeth are starting to fall off. I have the HF bi-metal 10-14 tooth blade to use next and then I have a Lenox...
