Her it is fellas, my new Craftsman bandsaw, 8 1/2" resaw capacity with 1 hp unit, cast iron wheels and dual dust port and the fence was included in the price, it is very sturdy and i love the way it's built! Here are a few pics of my cadillac! 
It was really a breeze to assemble albeit there was one drawing in the instructions that needed my using of those bi-focals but other than that it went smooth. Serge

Yes Michael, it also was on special at $599 so i felt i should just jump on the opportunity, it is pretty quiet and strong!

Serge, Way to go! That looks like a fairly serious bs, especially considering that it has the C-word on it!
I have one of their new table saws that is also a surprise for a Craftsman. Have fun! |

Thanks Pat, i will give it a good run before assessing of it's overall quality but i feel pretty confident that it will do well for what i'll use it for. |

Tres bien mon ami! You will be in resaw heaven! Can you bring it out to Bob's -- I've got a section of an African Blackwood log I need to resaw for Archtop tailpieces and finger rests? |

Hey, that is the one I bought. I love mine Serge, and I really think you will, too. I use both dust ports, and the dust collection is just great. Congrats on the good buy. |
