Thanks Art, great to hear from you. You will find that bandsaw a very handy addition. Much easier than a hacksaw for cutting blanks of stock for one thing.Mine is a cheapo one from Grizzly, and it took a lot of set up, but now it does a decent job.

I find it makes a much squarer cut with much less waste and cleanup on the lathe, plus is much much faster and easier on me.

What kind of footprint does that Trajan 125 take?I've been thinking of getting rid of my horizontal saw. It takes up quite a bit of space, is messy, and I very rarely use it in vertical mode.(By getting 'rid of' I mean moving it into the garage.)

It takes up quite a bit of space, is messy, and I very rarely use it in vertical mode.(By getting 'rid of' I mean moving it into the garage.)It takes up a 28"x12" space on the bench, the saw section has a lock to hold it down horizontal so you can pick it up by the back of the blade guide to carry it around. It does not go up fully vertical. I was able to get mine at their intruductory sale price, it is up to normal price now. I don't know if they do sales around christmas or not.
