: I have the same saw, 3 years old and two bearings are howling like
: a banshee. Also my guides don't stay well adjusted. I am having
: to re-adjust/tighten them fairly often. I am not impressed with
: the guides. Otherwise, even though I am an old American iron
: lover, it is a good bandsaw for the money. I will probably keep
: it even after I finish the 30" American restoration.

Btw, it's getting to the point, or better has already got to the point that unless you have an unlimited budget, the only really good tools are used. Even the old standbys are poor compared to what they once were.
