Henry,
I just noticed you¡¯re from rongfu, so thanks for trying to understand our needs. ?This saw is an old design that just work but can be enhanced.
I¡¯ve made many changes to my machine to make it convenient, ?it¡¯s all shared here somewhere. ?I turned and machined a capture nut so I never need a second wrench to unlock my miter, positive adjustable 90 degree stop. I¡¯ve even added a small ratchet so I don¡¯t need tools to do any of this. ?I hated the plastic knobs so they are all changed with wheels from a larger machine... as long as the machine cuts straight or has enough adjustments in it to cut straight other features can be enhanced. ?I¡¯ve also added a chip tray... many little improvements that make my life better. ?The stand is considered weak by many, but for me it seems to be ok.
The appeal is the cost since most who get this saw are not professionals, we have limited space and this saw offers a good compromise. ? Best way to make this better is a good cast and perhaps the pivoting ¡°hinge¡± could be improved so it is strong and adjustable. ?When the pivot is out of alignment the there is little that can make the saw cut straight.
Mine cuts well enough, it¡¯s not perfect but much easier and cleaner than other methods that make a lot of noise and dust!

?Hi, Dave:
Thanks for your sharing. sometimes i don't like "shut up and buy" world, it happens in Taiwan,too. Too many business policy, sale strategy....but never think about consumer. we're here to collect machine user's voice to re-design our new bandsaw, and I hope someday we can make a better bandsaw to fit the market. I am sorry that we're a machine maker, but trying to adjust the way of making machine. have a good day!
