Bandsaw Modifications

I will bet that I am not the only one who has one of these 4"X7" metal-cutting bandsaws, that are sold by Grizzly, Busy-Bee, and others.
For years, I wished for refinments that my saw did not have such as - a hydraulic adjustment for the down-feed, coolant system, better stand, and vise refinments. I finally decided to do something about it, and this is the bandsaw with included modifications.

Another worthwhile mod, is to precisely adjust the back-vise-jaw to the angles you regularly cut, and with a scribing tool, precisly scribe the angles into the surface that the rear-vise-jaw rests on.

I now have the bandsaw that I always wished it was.
