Makita 7104L has been sold. Other tools are still available.

Feedback: Positive, Exactly as described(better actually). Straightforward and easy to deal with. Thank you!
(I bought the Mortiser)

Thanks Brad! The beam saw and beam planer sold on ebay today. I still have the bandsaw if anyone is interested. Time permitting, I have several adzes, chisels, slicks, mortising machines available that I will list in a few days.

What is the portable bandsaw used for with timberframing? Is it just for cut off or cheek cutting tennons like many do with a circ saw? I would think that it would be difficult to cut curves in braces with a portable, no? Is there another use? I would like to get a 20 inch stationary band saw for brace curves, but it'll have to wait until some more important things on the list are taken care of. If I have to, I can take braces to someone elses shop and make the cuts.

Hi all! The bandsaw sold to a framer up in Moose Pass, Ak. Brad the bandsaw it typically used to cut arches in purlins and joists. Kind of replaces the adze. Have also used it to cut arches in braces too. Once you have one, it is real easy to see where it can be used to save time.
