With my new Bandsaw i got for X-mas. Took me about 30 minutes for this rough fab-up. Need to do a little fine tweaking on the inside, clean up of the shavings and what not.
What you think?

I reasearched them for what I was/could use them for alot...the vice on the machine is big enough to hold up to 3.5" J's I believe like the Magnaflow stuff.
I narrowed it down between the Craftsman version and the one at Northern Tools.
They had every feature the same, so i bought the Northern one. I set the pipe up where i want it cut, and alk away man. Its this sweet!
Heres the one i bought.

What TPI are you using with your bi-metal blades. Fastenal had some variable 10-14tpi bi metal stuff. I was thinking about getting some of them.
Im stuck on the cutting oil though..Mine has the pump and stuff for it just havent found the fluid yet.
