Winters here, well almost and I think someone said there is a "bible" for setting up a BS? Anyone have the correct name, publisher, or ISBN(?) number. Or.. url on Amazon?

Band Saw Basics by Mark and Gene Duginske is a very good book and has much on setting up a band saw. Dick
yep - search on Amazon for "Duginske" and you'll get a variety of his bandsaw books to choose from. I have the "Bandsaw Handbook" and it's great.

You can also check out The Bandsaw Handbook

I can't really compare the two, as I've never seen the "basics" one. At the time I got my saw, the Handbook was "the" bible. About that same time, he came out with a bench guide, but as it was new, I went with the old standard. :)

Mark Duginske's "Band Saw Handbook" is better, my BS Bible. Amazon Product Details
- Paperback: 320 pages * Publisher: Sterling (December 31, 1989) * Language: English * ISBN: 0806963980 * Product Dimensions: 10.0 x 8.0 x 0.8 inches * Shipping Weight: 1.7 pounds.
A few other folks like Lonnie Bird's "The Bandsaw Book" better. YMMV

BS = BandSaw, Barrykins.
BS (aka Toro Caca) is also what I get for posting on the Wreck, eh? ;)

Yeh, your right about the Band Saw Handbook, I've got that one also. When I got the Band Saw Basics book out I thought it was a little skimpy. Wrong book! Dick
I have Lonnie Bird's book. "The Bandsaw Book". And I get Mark Duginske's "Band Saw Handbook" out of the library from time to time. Not much to pick between them, they are both good.

They are both good but as I remember it they differ on some important points. Duginske made more sense to me.
Jus' my 2 pennies,
