yes, 105" blades are of course required. switching back and forth is =
possible tho not recommended and i don't know why you would want to. It =
is not designed to be easily switched. I know for me it would be far =
more trouble than it's worth.

If you put that accessory on your saw do you have to use 105" blades or =
can
you easily remove it and go back to 95" blades?

Have you done any serious resawing with it? If so, how does it do?

I bought one of these to replace my 15in Grizzly saw which gave good
service, and I wanted a better fence and width. I have been very happy with
the upgrade.
The only less than positive detail has been the ON/OFF switch is not quite
the quality or sensitivity I would like. I have had a few occasions where I
pressed OFF, but perhaps too light and had to press OFF harder to get this
to work.
I love the features, and especially ease of adjustment, including height
adjustment.
I had wanted the feature of being able to release tension on the blade, but
find this is a mixed blessing. The design is very good and fast to swing
the lever to tension or release tension. I find it all too easy to forget I
have this feature. The saw has a useful little window to see the degree of
tension, but due how I stand at the bandsaw, I do not see this head-on and
flip the switch, then hear the blade fall-off and only then remember "Duh,
forgot to tension the blade".
This is a great tool for the price.

Thanks. I'm looking for something capable of both light and heavy work.
How narrow of a sawblade have you used on it?
I'm reading a bandsaw review in American Woodworker, but only have Nov's
issue (part 2). It's touches on the 18 in. G0506, and mentions some
difficulty in tracking smaller blades due to a low crown on the wheels. But
the 18 in. spec. lists blades going down to 3/8", vs. a 1/8" min width on
the 17 in. So I'm thinking the artcile's dig may not be as applicable to
the 17 in. model, as it's specs may suggest (to me at least) better tracking
of smaller blades.
