Femi NG120 Mitering Bandsaw

[Sieg]

You'll make up the $850 in maintenance, storage, and insurance costs in no time!

These projects are great learning practice in a multitude of ways.

If I come up with a few worthy designs, prefabbing components for inventory would speed up the process dramatically. Designing on the fly isn't fast considering the brain I'm working with.

She hasn't bought the saw or the Mitler Bros 3 ton press and bead roller and die collection, Beverly shear, ring roller, BurrKing 12" disc sander and 2" belt sander, plasma table, slotted welding table, tungsten grinder, solvent tank, and a couple other items!

I don't really see the issue now that she's taken that 3rd full time job….

I give her major credit for being very supportive of the "hobby."

So.... I did not see a post of how well you liked the saw.

What do you think of it?

I picked up a Miller folding, slotted welding table with clamps -- very nice and is not in the way when in use. Miller has free shipping and a discount at the moment ($255). Not a bad deal.

I used to use my Femi 120 all the time, but it cuts slightly crooked. The bottom of the cut is about 1/16" closer to the vise than the top. So I've learned to lift the piece to cut a little on the blade side to compensate. So I rate the saw as "just ok", and I tend to use my bandsaw more and more.

What type and diameter of material did you see that runout on?

I notice it on tubing -- any kind. Material doesn't matter. Since I never cut solid material, I can't say if this is a tubing-only only issue. I've scoured the manual and contacted the vendor about this, but without luck. So I just clamp the material slightly uphill, and live with the problem.
