What modifications/upgrades would you make?
Did you buy or make your own resaw fence? Sled?

I agree, I don't know why it took me so long to buy a big band saw..... I just opened up a 12" thick piece of maple this morning that knocked my socks off.... if I didn't have this saw it would have been chainsawed into smaller pieces and wound up as small blanks........ book matching makes things soooo much more exciting!

Wait until you get your mill running. Now THAT is going to knock your socks off to see a 60"+ wide book match.

You also added an additional dust port it looks like, or is that a factory addition to that saw? I noticed it in one of your threads and immediately thought that was a great idea.
