Greetings,
I have been using a Laguna 14" SUV bandsaw for about 6 months. I am very happy with it. I am less happy with my skill in using it.
The saw supplements my hand tool work. I use it for resawing and rips and the occasional long curve.
I am aiming for what Michael Fortune teaches - a saw that is perfectly aligned for 90 degree cuts and that does not require drift adjustment. I know some don't believe this possible but I've spoken to enough people who say it is that I want to aim for it. I am using the 1/2" blade that he recommends.
I live in Essex County NJ, in Livingston. I would love to have someone knowledgeable come and help me and I'd be happy to pay the time. I think I'd learn so much more and save time if I could get guidance from an expert. Know anyone, or have ideas how to find someone who will make a house call?
I think I've seen most of the bandsaw alignment videos out there but if anyone can recommend a great setup video or article I'd love it.
Thank you!
Eric
PS Similarly I'd love to know of any class or hand tool expert near my area that I might learn from. I unfortunately can't travel for a class but would love a tutor to shorten my learning curve.
