I need a bandsaw to resaw some wooden blocks into wood scales for handles and big bandsaws are just too much. I found an offer on Craigslist for a Milwaukee 2630N model brand new For 100$. I figured I could get a metal and wood bandsaw two in one if I build a stand for it. My question is...

Fred: Thank you very much, I have received the email. I will reply asap.

By the way I have a separate question. I have some tanks I want to sell which will supply me with the money for this project. I have no idea if they could be used for knife making but I don't need them either way. Problem is, is that I can't find the right price. No were on the internet can I...

Sounds pretty good, thank you very much!

Makes sense to check the plans :P I get kind of anxious when I check craigslist because offers come and go really quickly if they are deals. But patience is key. By the way, is there a way to check the tracking number on an item you buy from usaknifemaker.com? or do the items not have tracking...

So how much are the bands for the three step pulley system?

Plus that you have to by the bands right? -Peter

How much is a pulley step system usually? Bluntness is fine, it gets the point across much quicker and I understand what you mean. I'm just wondering at this point if it's a good idea to go with any of the deals specifically the 2.5 HP (Which doesn't specify if it's 3 phase). Don't worry I...

By the way the guy with the new 2.5 HP motor is the only one who confirmed he still has it and he lives near by but is 2.5 HP too much? -Peter

In the list of links, There is one 1.5 HP baldor motor for 25$ and there is a new 2.5 HP motor for 100$. I got confused with the circute part. There is a 220v plug in the laundry room right next to the garage where I have my machines. But i'd find it way way easier to have it run on 110v because...

I'm sorry, I didn't understand very much of that... Terminology is not my strong point yet. All the 5 HP are 3 phase and I don't want anything too complicated yet I just want something that will work better than my 1/3 HP 4" belt sanders motor :P -Peter

So I purchased the plans for the NWGS and I have't received them yet but since i'm so enthusiastic about it, I began looking for the "high cost parts" the moment I ordered the plans. The question I have now is about the motor. I have found 4 craigslist offers which don't look half bad but I...

By, the way, what is the max HP motor I could use? As for used motors so far the only ones at a decent price range are 5 HP i've so far found 3 of them. But i think that might be too much. - Peter

(Question to someone who has seen or used the plans) By the way, I bought a small tap set to practice a bit, and it's not as hard as it sounds, but taking it slow did help make it easier. This little 40 piece tap and die set I bought from harbor freight does the job pretty darn well but the...

Haha great way of putting it :) I think I might go with the HF bandsaw. It's a two in one after all and it's not much more than the reliant. If all else fails then i'll see if the reliant is still being offered. Thank you -Pedro

I see, thank you very much, this cleared things up a bit. -Pedro

The reliant or the harbor freight?

How about this bandsaw I found on craigslist? Reliant 14-inch Bandsaw & Dovetail Fixture - $150 (Scottsdale, AZ) I could drop it down a little more to my range. It is in very good shape as I see in the pictures Here's the link if it works...

Thank you very much, I hope I can do the plans justice. I will look into tapping a little more. I hope HF can supply decent quality taps so they don't break. -Pedro
