Re: Harbor Freight Band Saw ---- the bed!
I just made some cuts with the new motor on it. Amps are great and the thing is smooth. I threw on another Bi metal blade. Those things really make the difference. I just cut a complete 6" collector and welded her up. It came out great like before.

Yes I use a 14-18 tooth variable with variable tooth path. I had a Starrett on there that worked good. I have a Morse on it now and its about the same. Bi metal blade is worth every penny. Grainger has them for about $20.
