    Machine Upgrading a smaller metal band saw

    I stumbled onto this video of a band saw upgrade. Although I wouldn't do everything in the list I'm impressed with his approach. I suspect even @Susquatch might watch this for some ideas. I especially liked the horizontal table and support. I find it tedious to go back and forth from the...

    Visiting China

    When I went looking for AC Servo motors I looked at EBAY. Yuck. No idea who I was dealing with. Looked at Aliexpress. Same issue with the fear of large dollar items going south. One time I got a pair of fake designer sunglasses that were actually supposed to be shoes ordered from Italy...
