    Hi Garage Nut. Have you sorted out the problem with your band saw cutting skew? I had the same problem with a saw purchased from am importer of Asian tools. I replaced the original blade with a bi-metal band saw, which made a big difference. Next time I need to replace the blade I will get a saw-sharpening shop to make up a decent blade. I also found, especially with pipe or square tubing, the saw cuts more accurately if you support it by hand to reduce the pressure on the blade (the tension cannot be adjusted on the cheapies). I want to figure out a modification to make the pressure on the blade adjustable. I will PM you with supplier details.
