This morning I was thoroughly enjoying my new Minimax 16" bandsaw. I was ripping small (1/4") scrap pieces for my daughter's preschool woodworking area. Everything was going great until ... a piece got stuck in the table insert, jammed the blade, and messed up the guides, insert, and Lennox carbide blade (less than 1 week old) :cry_smile. The top right guide was totally cut off and the bottom guides were damaged enough to need replacement.
The good news is I wasn't hurt at all. Now my next project is to make a good zero clearance insert for the bandsaw. I just wish I had learned this lesson on a cheaper blade!
