I got the industrial model and it weighs in at about 685 lbs with the 52
inch fence. Add 25lbs or so for the mobile base.
The mobile base is sweeeeeet. 3 pumps on the right front pedal and the
saw is lifted up and all weight is transferred to the 4 corner wheels.
tap the "lower" lever and the saw floats to rest on the floor releasing
all weight from the wheels. This saw being about 200lbs heavier than my
old Jet cabinet saw is much easier to move than the Jet 3 wheel mobile
base and I thought that base was great. The new saw will almost roll
out of the garage on its own when lifted up on the wheels.
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, Wow this thing is really
well built with great attention to details. No sharp edges found yet.
Ill keep you posted as the saw and out feed comes together.

You might be missing the obvious, do you want to contaminate your BS
for the occasional situation that you might want to cut off a smaller
portion of meat?? I would never consider doing this with anything other
than a dedicated BS that is going to be cleaned and sanitized on a
scheduled basis. You are going to end up with thousands of small chunks
of animal product spread through your band saw and at the least I would
think the draw of insects and the eventual smell of rot would detour you
from considering this any further.
Push come to shove, take that frozen chunk of what ever you have and ask
your butcher or local meat market to cut it up for you.

I can think of several situations where someone would have frozen food
and just want part of it. Many foods come already frozen, such as
pizza for example. Cut and cook just half of it for a meal. Or,
perhaps buying an amount of meat when it was on sale and freezing it.
Then cutting off a steak sized slice to thaw for consumption?

You never eat leftovers? Perhaps you don't know how to treat them for
a second meal. I take them for lunch all the time.
The past couple of weeks I've cooked on the weekend and froze a good
portion for future use for easy quick meals. My wife is in the
hospital and won't be cooking for a while when she gets home so I'm
stocking up a little now.
Properly reheated, it is as good as the day it was cooked, exception
being crispy chicken skin.

Speaking of various types of butchery, have you ever cut (or been
tempted) to cut frozen meat of some type on your Laguna bandsaw? Is
there such a thing as a butchers blade for a home bandsaw?

It really has to do with how you reheat and the meat what kind you are
reheating.. The key for us is to reheat in the juices that cooked out
during the cooking. For example we smoke a pretty good brisket. We cook it
in an aluminum pan which captures all the liquids. After an hour of
smoking we cover the pan with aluminum foil and finish cooking. After
cooking we let the meat rest so that it will soak up some of those juices.
We keep the whole thing and can eat on that for several days, we typically
oak 10~15 lbs.
When reheating we use the, now solid, juices to keep the meat moist when
reheating.
The key is to reheat with the same juices that gave all the flavor and
taste when first cooked.

I guess it's just me then. Reheated meat of any type, however it's
reheated just tastes Blah! It's just too bland compared to the taste

Pppffftt! You wasted your money. You ain't got enough lumber, back there, to do any decent sawing with.
*With the previous delays/miscues, incurred, did it come with a blade? :)
It all looks pretty darn sharp. Congrats, big time.

You have to heat it gently. If you just stick it in the microwave on
high, it will ruin the taste.

My solution is simply to cook the whole thing and then refrigerate the
excess. There's always a need to eat tomorrow.
Seeing how dust gets all over the bandsaw, I'd be very reluctant to use
it for any kind of food cutting. Food goes bad, spoils, then your shop
stinks. (That won't stop me from making jokes about it... or suggesting
we buy a drill press rather than a stand mixer. Actually that one might
work ok.)

All you youngster, city slickers talking 'bout sawing meat. With a with a
BIG ASS BANDSAW! Back in the day, when we had to cut meat, we used a meat
saw. It looked like a giant hacksaw. It had a meat (bone) blade on it.
You operated in with your arm and hand. Ya know, MANUAL LABOR! And it did
cut frozen meat. It would be a bit of a workout, but it got the job done.
This is a picture of a modern 25" manual meat saw. They come in different
sizes.

I recall a discussion I had with a professional butcher about 30 years ago
while he was cutting up a deer for me. Regarding saws in butchering, they
are intended for cutting bone only. I watched as he carefully cut the meat
down to the bone with a knife and then cut the bone only on the bandsaw. He
had a less than flattering term for guys butchering deer for money who cut
up the meat and bone with a bandsaw... After having a venison dinner at a
friend's home one time, where the meat was clearly sawn with bits of bone
"dust" through out, I understood his position on the matter. It was
nasty...!
I butcher my deer own now and bone it as the meat is removed from the
hanging carcass. This saves freezer space and there is no need for sawing
anything. I do, however, chop the skeleton off at the end of the rib cage
with a hatchet once the meat is removed... this so it fits in the trash can.
A SawStop, by design, would be useless for this application.

I have read about special blades for meat cutting. However, I don't
know what kind of difference one would make compared to a woodworking
blade.
I was also wondering if it was inadvisable to chance blood and gore
(initally frozen" spread around the insides of a woodworking bandsaw?

You don't use a bandsaw to cut frozen pizza. You use your broad ax.

Consider dividing and packaging the selected portions before freezing it. Much easier and more convenient, than wrestling with a frozen quarter/half beef, hog or whatever. Don't forget to mark the individual packages, to identify what's within.

This one is especially nice, I have been a proponent for this saw since
1999, before it was produced. My wife actually suggested trading up.

You don't cook it, just reheat it. Done properly, it does not affect
the taste. Done improperly, it ruins it. I reheat my lunch
(consisting of leftovers) most every day with no problems.

Could depend on how you like your meat cooked. The rarer you like
your meat the less you loose flavor on the reheat. If you like it
fairly well cooked on the first go around then I can see your point.
You need some juice to reheat.

Everybody offering solutions is missing the point. If you've got a
freezer in your refrigerator, then occasionally, there's going to be
some food that it would be nice to cut from.
I'm not going to cut up a prime rib roast into steaks before I freeze
it because I might want a roast easily available for a family dinner.
I don't plan too many meals a week or more in advance, so how am to
know if something should be cut up before it's frozen or not? And no,
my freezer isn't big enough to keep very many different cuts of frozen
meat on hand.
The question bordered on the hypothetical anyway, so I guess it's moot
at this point. Very few people are going to run meat, frozen or not
through their bandsaw.

What's with a microwave? Meat cooks terribly in a microwave, no matter
what level you put it at. At best, I use a microwave to thaw a few
foods, heat some veggies, or maybe cook a frozen microwave dinner if
I'm in a rush.

Leon, Sounds like you are doing great so far!
I wanted to share this short story, which proves you don't have to use
power tools to bruise yourself.
Yesterday, I was existing a computer lab--actually sort of in a hurry to
get to my next destination, with some paper in my left hand, pulling
the door behind me with my right. When, I closed my finger in the door.
Ouch! It's still is a little sore, but it's fine. But here is the part
I wanted to mention...wait for it...
...the whole accident could have been avoided if there had been a
Door-Stop! : )
Good luck to you as you fine tune your new saw!

Yeah, there should have been a mechanism in place to blow
the door off it's hinges. Naw, the kids wouldn't leave it alone. :)
BTW, just for reference, that little pinch inthe door hurt just as good
as a firm
tap with a 16 oz hammer! :) I have prided myself for not doingthe
latter in years.
Though I did it at least 2 times that I keenly remember, in my youth.
You folks are the first to know (I didn't dare tell anybody, lest I
might lose "my privileges").

One other thing, the instructions really really suck. They have changed
the design so that the bottom bracket can be adjusted up and down to
miss hitting a dust port. They simply modified the original set of
directions and left parts out. You really want to read the instructions
a couple of times to be familiar with what you are trying to do. You
build stuff, you can figure it out. There are simply a few steps that
leave you wondering and a few parts that have different names than the
list of parts.

What???? You're kidding right? You like that kind of food? You've
never frozen meat for future use? Never bought meat in any size bigger
than a few pounds? And, meat that is cooked and then refrigerated
doesn't come close to having the same taste as something just freshly
cooked.
What kind of palate do you have?

The out feed roller extension was a task although all went smoothly.
It's the hoping you are drilling into cabinet in the right spot 6 times
that kinda gets to you. I have installed the same set up before on a
Jet cabinet saw some 13 years ago so I knew what to be where and aligned
with what. It was actually easier this time.

Sure, but not as much as I used to. In this case, we're talking about
meat and I rarely eat it. I've pretty much lost my taste for leftover
meat. The only time I cook a roast beef is when I have friends over
and they usually take what's left home with them for sandwiches during
the week. I wouldn't eat it, so they might as well take it with them.

Maybe my reheating techniques need some improvement.

Not a whole lot of trouble, sorta. The rollers don't spin perfectly so
there are high and low spots when they spin. We are only talking about
1/32" so it really is no big deal. The object is that the rollers
simply be close to being the same height as the table, better a bit low
than higher. After all, this thing is only there to keep the work from
tipping off the back end of the table top. This one and my old one
have a cam adjustment that lowers the front rollers 3/8" of an inch so
that when you cross cut the miter gauge bar will not hit the rollers. I
often used the out feed with the rollers in that lower position when
ripping, I forgot to raise them back up, and had no problems.
Now having said that the top bracket has 4 bolt holes that are elongated
so that while setting up you move the roller up and down. You lay a
strait edge on the table top on both sides to over hand the first
column of rollers. When the roller is close to the bottom of the
straight edges on both sides you tighten the 4 bolts. Then you drill
and bolt the bottom bracket.
Then the folding center support arm can be adjusted to bring the back
rollers up or down, basically to have the out feed plane to be parallel
to the TS top plane.
With my old set up on my other saw I do not recall ever making another
adjustment after the initial adjustment. I am sure that there was some
settling over the past 13 years but I never felt the need to readjust.
