I been shopping for a new porta-band saw. Was gonna buy a new Harbor freight.. I saw a good looking Milwaukee on market place. I called the guy and tried to make arrangements to go look at it. The next add was for a Stihl concrete saw for trade. He was looking for a miter saw. I upgrade ever so often. I have 4 at the moment. I sent him pics and he wanted my old Dewalt. The concrete saw has the pull rope broken. I took a chance on it. Last night I came home with the bandsaw for half the price of the harbor freight and came home with the concrete saw. When I got home I pulled the recoil starter from the concrete saw and started it with a drill. It seemed to run good. Now to install one of the porta-band blades ole Desert Joe gave me and the porta-band will be working. |
