Hello folks...one of my dream/desire tool was a bandsaw for my small homeshop (60 m²).
In Brazil the best choose is Makita LB 1200F around $800 to you compare with yours (similar or other brands in any other country).
The table is cast iron and the weight is around 80 kg.
Few days ago I started to mount it.At YT I found help to do it alone and was easy (I am a mechanic guy).

The worst part is tune the blade to cut properly.
The other issue will be the dust collect.

I was checking at YT and found some help.These teachers are very good.

Here how to tune the blade at a hi level:


Here some explanation about dust collection:

The better way to mount is start on the floor

Congrats on the new bandsaw! Tuning it up is the key! So many adjustments possible in order to make consistently good cuts! But you are an expert at tools, so you should master it in no time! Ready to hear feedback once you get to cutting wood! Chuck

I am thinking in make a PVC dust collector before my first cut.The bearings are off yet and soon I believe I can set both issues.I"ll be back to say about the first impressions when I have it.
Thanks for comment.

Nice!!!
Teachers change everything. I find rob cosman is very good in general. I recommend him a lot. I had the fortune to learn from my dad so I got most of my skills from him.

Snodgrass is the guy I listen to. Is that factory blade? If so they usually come with dirt cheap blade.

I agree with the bandsaw guy...about blade it is original and the machine is Made in Japan...I read a lot before buy and they sell around the world.The people say it is not so bad blade.
To me a better blade only when I visit US or Europe...I don't want to pay extras (Brazilian tax).
My use is not professional and the blade will last until there.

I was wondering if he was going to use the flip technique. It's a lot harder when you get into two inch wide bands.
