Thankya sir; got my wings built for it yesterday during the draft so I just need to get the fences installed and the track hooked up and it'll be fully functional. Then it'll just be hanging the doors and trimming it out.
Got a deal made on a 14" bandsaw yesterday.
1.5 hp motor I'm going to rewire for my 220 circuit, has a riser setup installed so it gives it 12" resaw capacity. With that much ass, it'll fly through most re-saws apart from real hard woods. It has a true rail system for the fence so you slap a tall re-saw fence on there and it's almost infinitely versatile.
I have a ton of rough cut walnut I got from my wife's grandma when she moved (over 100 boards that are about 1.5-2 inches thick and 8-10 feet long). I'm not gonna lie - I'm getting a hard as a diamond in an ice storm thinking about the veneers I can make with this saw and that walnut. I can do a bunch of 1/16 walnut veneer that's about 8 inches wide and could turn something as simple as that miter saw table into something that looks furniture grade by just skinning it with that walnut.
Have spent about 2 years talking myself out of buying a bunch of custom cabinets for my bathroom because it's about $10 grand. Well **** that - I can buy a couple of boards, make veneers and some new doors and rock and roll. I'll pay for this new saw 10 times over if I can get that all dialed in. I'll probably experiment by putting veneers in my gloss black fish tank stand.
