Props from me as well, beautifully conceived and executed!My most recent big project was a steering damper mount for my DRZ.

Same here.^^^A couple of those tricks I already knew or figured out. Most of them I didn't and I'll be re-watching that a few times and taking notes!
It's a diy project. Want a suspension? Roll your own.Went to the end. Looks to be lacking suspension.
@10.22 you can see the x-axle which I identify as possibly a Renault 11 rear axle, with torsion bars in it.Went to the end. Looks to be lacking suspension.
I have used plenty of band saws with incorrect blades on incorrect materials. It can't be worse.New toy.

My better half works at Harbor Freight. A week ago she showed me a flier about a parking lot sale. Asked me if there was anything I wanted. Hand band saw stand on sale. Always kind of wanted one. It was on sale and with her employ discount it was very reasonable.
It is what it is. It's "universal", made to fit it 5 different saws. Also it's taking something made to work 1 way and making it do something it wasn't designed to do. How well it works will be on you. Needs to be set up and used correctly and within it's limitations.
If you do a lot of cutting buy a real band saw made for doing that. I've used some nice band saws. Set it adjust the pressure for the feed ad go do something else till it as done. With this you apply the pressure.
They have one in the engine lab where I work and since I have a portaband at home I picked one up on sale then it sat around in my garage for a year or so unopened. I finally got around to opening the package, saw all the various adapters for different brands of saws, Millwaukee, DeWalt, and those that HF sells and discovered it doesn't fit my Porter Cable. Ugh. Repackaged it and shoved it under a bench.New toy.

Screamin' deal! Motor is imminently replaceable, got some nice-to-have accessories and anything you might need is readily available. As long as the ways aren't worn out at the headstock, would make someone a wonderful machine.Anybody in the Chicago area looking for a lathe? If it were closer I'd be all over this one. $100
