In August I bought a Gryphon C-40 band saw from John at JSGems. Before the purchase, he took the time to demonstrate the different saws he sells and explain the differences.
After getting home, I set-up the saw and started cutting on my new tool. But after about 18 cabs, the blade wouldn't stay on. I tried to make the adjustments suggested in the manual yet still wasn't successful in keeping the blade in place.
In the end, the lower wheel was out of adjustment. During this little crisis, John and Alan at Gryphon patiently made suggestions and eventually help me solve the problem. Since Alan was out of town initially and it took a little time for us to make contact, he even set me a new blade and some extra guides.
If you want to cut some different shaped cabs, get a Gryphon band saw.
If you want to deal with someone who really, really cares about the lapidary arts, support JSGems.
