which bandsaws is it best suited for?

I installed it on my Delta/Milwaukee 14" band saw, which was made back in 1944. If you have a more modern Delta, it will bolt right up, as well.

I have mine on a Jet 14" deluxe pro and it fits and works great. I highly recommend this fence. I believe it will work on just about any table up to 16" square. The Woodhaven web site no longer lists this product, so get it while you can.

a 14" bandsaw, if that's answers your question. it is a universal fence so it will fit many if not all types of band saws. very nice and very well built.

Rikon and sears sell direct replacements. I make my own out of hardboard for each blade I use because I like to have zero clearance. Rough cut it on the bandsaw, double stick tape the original to the new one to use as a template and clean it up on a large disk or stationary belt sander. I leave the double stick tape on the new insert (bottom down) and use it in the saw.If you do this, drill some 3/16" holes to aid dust collection.

If you prefer to spend less time and achieve higher quality results and are willing to pay for it, Festool is the way to go. If you have a lot of time and / or wood working experience, you can definitely make great stuff with a biscuit cutter. For me, even as a casual enthusiast I am now thinking about getting the domino XL in addition to the standard domino. I am still amazed at the quality of the tool, ease of use, and the cool things you can build that would be difficult or impossible with a standard biscuit joiner

Yeah, although I wouldn't recommend it, I would go with the tojiro utility blade, for a quicker breakdown and more precise cuts

I would think that this saw would be a good choice because it is a pull saw and being very thin can make a very clean cut. Hope this helps.

Oshlun makes some 210mm and 30mm arbor blades. They are the same size of Festool TS75 blade at less than half the price. I used Oshlun blade on my table saw and they are pretty good for the price.

I don't know. I use the saw for wood only. If I was going to cut some metal I would use my hacksaw or a torch.

The simple answer is it depends on the size of timber you're planning on cutting but in general you're going to want a 70cc or greater professional grade saw for this size mill. I'm in the Stihl camp for saws but only because I know them inside and out. I won't tell you to buy Stihl over Husqvarna but I will say you can't go wrong either way with the pro series. As for specifically what saws to get for this, on the Stihl side you're looking at the MS440 or MS441 as the smallest saw I would run with it. I personally use a Stihl MS461 with no problems running a 28" bar with Stihl chain ground to 10 degrees for ripping. I would however recommend that if you are new to using a chainsaw you seek out a professional to teach you how to use this size saw as they can kill you very quickly if not handled properly. The professional saws do not have the kickback reducing chains or bars and the protective chaps you can buy (and should always wear) will not necessarily stop the saw if the throttle is pegged. Otherwise good luck with all of your projects, you'll love the mill if you choose to get it! Hope that helps.

I tend to use mine more for precision work, where there is a need for more portability or where my full size rip saw cannot get in. I would cut 3/4" materials with a full size unit.

I don't see why not. The way the Fence is installed is with Tbolts and gets adjusted when the whole fence is assembled to the fence. If it can no be used on your bandsaw there are a ton of good options for the same price check out fine woodworking annual issue No. 230 tools and shops they do a bandsaw fence review and I'm sure amazon carries all the brands they talk about

It could be used but it was me I,d spend the money on a wood cutting band saw, This model has cheap conponates as a wood band saws are well build.

Changing blades is very straight forward. The guides are also easy to adjust. Grizzly did a good job engineering the bandsaw. I use mine several times a week. I also use it to cut wood and aluminum so blade changes and adjustments were one of the reasons I picked this model.

For 4 to 6 inch thickness I would go with a bigger bandsaw. This will cut 4 inch stock ok but I cut a lot of exotics and the denser woods really slow this bandsaw down to where I wish I'd got a larger model. For 2 to 3 inch and a good blade it works good. I use it for cutting my lathe wood down to a rounded blank for turning.

The Shark saw is a more rough-cut saw. For baseboard and molding, you would probablyy want a finer toothed saw

How does a jigsaw compare to a table saw? Its not a rotary tool. I find it well suited for precision cuts or cuts in tight spaces; but, not for long or deep cuts. Molding, door frames, sheet metal. I'd use it to remove grout; but wouldn't be my choice concrete.

It is an excellent choice but you should get the additional blade for "dry wood." The one which comes on it is for "green wood." This saw really powers through stuff. The off brand ones, which you see in hardare stores, just are not in the same class. Seriously. I take this on group camping trips and the knock offs, which other folks bring, cannot compare.

I agree with the others. Unless you only need to cut 1 or 2 pieces to length, I would use a power miter saw.
