[SEL] Need Used Vertical Metal Bandsaw

[peter ogborne]

Paul....a couple of things to think about on your modification.With those 
little Chinese band saws when in the vertical position you do not have the 
switch off operating as the arm falls. It is hazardous if you are trying to 
hold the work and reaching down to hit the little toggle switch..a no volt 
swich......something that you can bump with your knee is safer. Also an 
extension on the work table to bring it up closer to the guides is another 
mod.
