    Hi I bought one about 10 years ago, 2 of the bearings on the tub guide cracked I called them up and they sent replacements right away. I don't use the power pack a real lot but it came in handy fullering some railings in a die on a long heat when I couldn't get to the treadle. I'm very happy with it. John

    Hi I've had a Steelmax 14" for about six years am very happy with it I'm on my second blade supposed to get 1200 cuts I didn't count but I have cut a lot of mild steel with it. I have cut 2" square at 45 deg. nice clean cut & accurate. My son has a 14" Dewallt he is happy with as well as an 8" circular saw he uses on for sheet steel.

    Hi I have a Jet band saw which I have cut up to 6" round on works great but what I use most is a Steelmax Cold cut saw no smell like chop saw beautiful clean cut & fast I quite often cut up to 2" square with it. I've had it for 7 or 8 years paid about $550 for it supposed to get about 1200 cuts per blade, I've replaced 2 blades in 8 years @ $90 each. John

    Why don't you contact Lenox one of the large band saw blade mfg. let them know what you will be mostly cutting & ask them the recommended FPI for different tooth configurations?

    I started with a different problem the constant hum of the blower was annoying, so I mounted it outside the shop in a weather proof cabinet solved the noise problem also always have fresh air to the tuyere & don't have to worry about depleting my shop oxygen & I also think chimney draws better.
