User questions & answers

Question:	can I cut glass

Question:	Can this saw be bolted down to a table? To make less subject to "wobbling
Answer:	Depends on why it wobbles. If it wobbles because it sets on an uneven surface, then yes bolting works. If wobble is from an oblong wheel, out of balance wheel, or something else along thode lines; then no, bolting it down won't help.

User questions & answers

Question:	When centering the blade on the tires, should the blade or the gullets be centered
Answer:	According to Alex Snodgrass the band saw guru with Carter power tools, the gullet of the blade is what should be centered on the tire.
Question:	Do I have to buy the 72 inch blades, or is there some room for a 72 7/16 blade to fit it
Answer:	I don’t have a different answer, but I feel bad for the person that has 21 downvotes, because they’re not wrong. This saw is available in 3 sizes. 72 is for the 10”, 62 is for the 9”. Sorry, ccbdav. Don’t let em get you down.
Question:	Has anyone used this tool to cut thru 4 inch oak? For example table legs
Answer:	The blade that came with it is actually not bad at all as I cut a 5 inch diameter oak log from a chopped tree in my back yard down to a 3"x 3" x 2' piece of usable lumber. I was impressed. I later bought a bi-metal 1/2" 14TPI blade and installed it for metal cutting. It did cut with no effort a 1" thick T6 aluminum. I am not sure if if can do thicker as I did not try it. I also cut 1/2 mild steel bar with no problem at all. No binding or stalling. All the cuts of wood or metal were straight. You just have to let the blade do the work and not force feed it through
Question:	Where is it manufactured
Answer:	There's a tiny island off the north west coast of Mauritius called Gelff. Not even on most maps. Discovered by captain James Cook in 1752. In 1754 Gelff, represented by James Cook in Spanish courts, was granted sole manufacturer of the WEN 3962 Two-Speed benchtop bandsaw. Raw materials are brought in on one side of the island. Some kind of assembly/manufacturing factory must be inland somewhere, they don't allow access to the interior. The fact that this is such a fine product becomes obvious when one visits the far side of Gelff, where cargo ships are waiting to load and deliver this product around the world.
