4x6 bandsaw vice modification and dead stop

[Toolmaker51]

The Home Engineer, you are right; Spielberg has nothing to worry about, but he probably can't kit up a bandsaw even a tiny bit.
Anyway, where's the part we're not supposed to like?

These little saws are fully appropriate and serviceable in the small shop; you'd be surprised how often these appear in real jobbers and maintenance departments. It's entertaining to watch them futz about over the same issues that NEVER get corrected.
