Re: [CAD_CAM_EDM_DRO] Re: HF Bandsaw converted to CNC

If we're talking Harbor Freight, then I'll have to go back to my orignal
comment.

I don't buy anything from HF if I can help it! The saw I bought had to have
the motor replaced.

I returned the motor for replacement (with it's attached power cord). The
motor was replaced...sans power cord. They never did replace the cord so I
had to go buy an new one locally. After fixing that, and trying to make a
cut, the saw never would work right...and like I said earlier...I'll be
melting the $#@#%$ piece of junk down for castings for parts for one of my
DreamMachines one of these days.
