    Machine KMS/MAGNUM 4x6 metal bandsaw - check your blades!

    Shop Shop layout, making use of every square inch.

    have you done this yet? How did it go? If not, I'd suggest going old-school Egyptian style with it. Just get a few lengths of 1" cold rolled steel. I was surprised how easy it was to roll my mill around the garage this way.
