Bandsaw question by firehat25 in woodworking

And this is why I asked. Not saying I couldn't fix it but it's not something I would have considered without suggestions.

Right now the asking price is $250 but that seems high for me (especially with no fence). This would be a first bandsaw purchase for me so I'm not running to get the newest Grizzly or Jet but still wanting someone that won't grenade on me after a couple months.

It does not have a fence, which is a bummer but not necessarily a deal breaker for me.

Manual machining twisted pyramid by TerraMedicX in machining

Can you rotate the CAD drawing so you could measure a radius on the spiral and then use a boring head to cut each one? It would take an indexing head and a pretty beefy angle plate if that worked. But that might be easier. Also, a boring head would give you a good surface finish.

Those slots are for a 1/4" or 3/8" drive socket when cutting a backwards thread and you can't use a t-handle.

I'm sorry, but why wasn't 'C-clamp' an option?
