My Growth Rings with Scott Markwood
SHOP NOTES: So much to cover today! How can you know the correct length to order for your bandsaw? It's actually a simple matter of some 6th-grade geometry and a little addition. Also, I found a neat magnetic base LED light that you can use on all your tools and we test an off-the-shelf Bosch bandsaw blade on the Shopsmith bandsaw. This Bosch blade sells for less than half the price of the TimberWolf blade, but is the savings worth it?
