An alternative to ebay...

Found on Craigslist:

I curse the day I bought the Skil Bandsaw pictured below. After the factory blade came off, I bought a new one for $15 and never was able to get it on straight, so it kept coming off. This bandsaw was $115 at Lowes. I know, don't buy cheap shit. Penny-wise, pound-foolish. Lesson learned. But you should buy this.

The saw is hardly used for the above reason. The blade is brand new, accept for possible wear from constantly falling off the wheels. Apparently one must be a scientist at the Jet Propulsion Lab to use equations and shit to figure out how to keep this blade centered. Perhaps the blade is too thin, as the fatter factory one stayed on nicely.

The model is Skil 3385-01 (http://www.lowes.com/pd_22199-46922-3385-01_?PL=1&productId=1207605&cm_mmc=search_google-_-Tools%20Benchtop%20Tools-_-Power%20Saws%20Models%20Skil-_-3385-01). Perusing the reviews, one must wonder if there's any middle ground at all. Either the reviewer is presumably a Skil employee giving it 5 stars, or a disgruntled purchaser tired of watching the blade fly from the center like Rush Limbaugh. In fact, if only Obama were equally determined to move away from "the center", those of us would not so easily fly off the wheel, which brings me back to this god-awful example of why US manufacturing is suffering (Or is this Korean?).

I'll sell this POS for $40. OK, $25, so long as you're convinced you can do better and will be too embarrassed to complain to me if you can't.

Please help me move on with my life.
