For the price that Hitachi 12" would be great!

Not sure about availability in Japan. I found mine in a Lowe's store in NW Montana.
I tried my first bandsaw box the other night with a 1/8" blade. Went reasonably well -- and I learned a few things, but I think some changes may be in order.
I was looking through my Iturra Design Bandsaw Catalog and I believe the Delta upper and lower guide assemblies will fit on this saw. I'll be giving those a try before long also -- the guide 'pins' they use dont strike me as being all that hot compared to a set of cool blocks.
And of course, new blades. I'm running with the $4.95 blades from Lowes right now.
