Grizzly G0580 - ah, the craiglist post.
this one.. http://www.amazon.com/Grizzly-G0580-14-22-Bandsaw-HP/dp/B0007D2WS8/ref=cm_cr_pr_pb_t
i found one of craigslist. the seller emailed “the motor is 3/4 hp. its used, very lightly used. bought it from an old guy that used it once and didnt need it anymore. i never could get the blade to stay on so i never used it…. make an offer.”
on amazon, $60 more gets you the G0555. for a total of $450
BUT i can get THIS one on CL for $90!! problem is, apparently, the blade isn’t staying on. this will be my first bandsaw so won’t be knowing much of what i’m doing… maybe this guy doesn’t either and problem is simple?
anyway – sound like a good deal? I’m thinking so but…?
and – quite and simple ways to upgrade this to perform better? ( i think the guides are not rollers..?)

The manufacturing process of Windmills
Windmills are used to harness the power of the wind to produce electricity. Usually windmills are erected using pre-made parts, on site. The basic fan type windmill consists of the tower, gearbox and fan.
Tower parts are usually made of galvanized steel using a roll of coiled sheet metal that is put on a de-spooling device to be fed to the production line.
The sheets are run under a straightener to remove twists and kinks and then cut to the right size and shape.
sometimes the pieces may be placed on a machine to roll and weld seams wherein its ends are passed under a crimping machine to be moved to the finishing station...

Carbon action plan lays down Whitehall deadlines (Press Release)
08 March 2011
DECC Press Release: 2011/020
A cross-Government action plan on climate change backed by the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister is launched today setting strict actions and deadlines for Whitehall.
The new Carbon Plan sets out what has to happen and by when if the Government is to live up to its green ambitions, meet tough domestic carbon targets and encourage greater action internationally. It is focused on the jobs and economic opportunities of the low carbon economy and on policies that will help insulate Britain from future energy price shocks.
The Carbon Plan is published in draft today with the Government inviting the public and organisations to give their views on the contents. A final version will be published in the Autumn and then updated annually.
In a foreword to the document, the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and Energy and Climate Change Secretary Chris Huhne write:
“This Carbon Plan sets out a vision of a changed Britain, powered by cleaner energy used more efficiently in our homes and businesses, with more secure energy supplies and more stable energy prices, and benefiting from the jobs and growth that a low carbon economy will bring.
But it does more than that. It shows exactly how we will deliver that vision and play our part in the global effort to tackle climate change and build a green economy through specific, practical action across government, month by month and department by department.’’
The draft Plan highlights three key changes that will be required across the UK economy, including:
- in the way electricity is generated, where a dramatic shift away from fossil fuels and towards low carbon alternatives is needed – including renewable energy, new nuclear power and fossil fuel power stations fitted with carbon capture and storage
- in the way homes and businesses are heated, where a step change is needed in how well homes are insulated and away from gas boilers to low carbon alternatives, such as heat pumps
- in the way people travel. This means more use of public transport and substituting the need for some journeys, but the greatest change will be in road transport – reducing emissions from petrol and diesel engines and moving towards alternative technologies such as electric vehicles.
Internationally, the plan sets out how the UK will work within the European Union and with other countries to promote ambitious action on climate change; support developing countries to limit emissions and adapt to climate change; and seek further progress towards a global climate change agreement.
The document details a range of deadlines and actions that a number of Government departments will have to meet. These include:
- HMT legislating to create a floor in the carbon price by April 2011
- DECC to award the contract for the first UK Carbon Capture and Storage demonstration by end of this year and identify further demonstration projects by May 2012
- The Department for Business to get the Green Investment Bank operational by September 2012 with the first annual data released on the funds in and size of investments made by the Bank by May 2013
- By June 2011, DFT to develop a nationwide strategy to promote the installation of electric vehicle infrastructure
- DECC to lead in reducing central government’s emissions by 10% in twelve months with the deadline of May 2011
- By June 2012 Defra to launch a pilot project to develop and trial methods for delivering integrated environmental advice for farmers, including on reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The entire public sector is working together to deliver the low carbon economy and local government in particular has a vital role to play in harnessing the enthusiasm that exists at the local level for tackling climate change.
To enable local councils the opportunity to take the lead in reducing emissions Chris Huhne will be signing a Memorandum of Understanding with the Vice-Chair of the Local Government Association, Richard Kemp this week, which will set out how DECC and the Local Government Group will work together to help and encourage all councils to take firm action to:
- reduce the carbon emissions from their own estate and operations
- reduce carbon emissions from homes, businesses and transport infrastructure, creating more, appropriate renewable energy generation, using council influence and powers; and
- participate in national carbon reduction initiatives at the local level, particularly the roll out of the Green Deal, smart metering and renewable energy deployment.
Notes to Editors
1. The Carbon Plan is available on DECC's website
2. Quarterly updates on progress will be available on the No 10 website.
3. Since the publication of the November Business Plan, the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change has announced (on 7 February 2011) that the first review of the Feed in Tariffs (FITs) scheme for small scale low carbon electricity generation in advance would begin in advance of the dates shown in the Carbon Plan, and would be completed by April 2012. The review will also include fast-track consideration of large scale solar projects (over 50kW) with a view to making any resulting changes to tariffs as soon as practical, subject to consultation and Parliamentary scrutiny as required by the Energy Act 2008 and a short study into the take-up of FITs for farm based Anaerobic Digestion plants. Broad terms of reference for the review are available from www.decc.gov.uk/FITs.
4. Memorandum of Understanding

'The Woodwright's Shop' Renewed for 2 Years
Roy Underhill's long-running PBS show "The Woodwright's Shop" was renewed Wednesday for two years by its sponsor, State Farm Insurance.
That means that "The Woodwright's Shop" will be around for a 31st and 32nd season. And this is the first time that State Farm has ever renewed the show for two years.
"Thanks to State Farm for making the world safe for serious, subversive woodworking comedy," Roy said over a celebratory burrito lunch. "We've been serving all your steampunk woodworking needs since 1979."
Roy heard the news today while I was teaching a class in sharpening at his woodworking school, The Woodwright's School, in Pittsboro, N.C. After announcing the news of the renewal to the students (who responded with a round of applause) Roy asked the students to hoist him on their shoulders.
At first, no one took him seriously. But of course, he was (see above). He, um, pleaded with the students to hoist him up. They did. And then proceeded to open the trash can at the school to dump him. (This is nicer than the traditional two-year swirlie.)
After finishing up his burrito and tortilla chips, Roy put down his drink.
"I've got two seasons of shows to fill," he said. "Ask the readers to send me ideas for people and things they'd like to see for the next two years."
You can do just that using the contact form at Roy's school. Click here to make a suggestion.
And congratulations Roy!
