    I lost track thousands of dollars ago.
    The Band saw is great at long as you don't but HF blades your good. It cuts square and clean. I bought the 2 year warranty so I'm good for 2 years and if is ever takes a shit I can just go and pick up a new one.

    I say do it's about half the price of the Jet.

    I would love to see how these work, any chance you have a video, i see the bolt holds it in place but it looks like the notches would prevent it from lifting out, is there enough flex that you can pull the bars inward? Thanks they look cool, and GREAT RACK!

    No video the rack just slide into place all you have to do is slide the rack back about 2" and it will lift right out.

    Funny you mention that... stopped at a buddies to show him the rack & we were standing around enjoying a beer & I realized the only thing missing is a bottle opener. But that should be an easy fix. :D

    I'm sure you could come up with a way to integrate the BAMF logo in there. In the pic the part that opens the bottle resembles an "A". Just a thought though. ;)

    Thanks and the rack is designed to hold things on top of it like a tire, camping gear or a roof top tent and its about 200lbs alone. The bed sides can't support that much so I decided to attach it to the frame.
