Re: Emerson Horizontal bandsaw?

I moved the original fence to a solid location for 8", and then made a
new fence for the regular position with a tooless screw/handle for angle
cuts.  Most of the time I do not use the original fence in its new
locations.  Maybe never since I got the 7x12 bandsaw for larger stock.

That sounds like a better approach. I kept the original fence and changed only the fasteners, so it's still clumsy to adjust.
I'd buy a 7x12 if I had the space for it. I got the 4x6 for $125 and it's a Delta with upgraded small parts compared to others I'd tried. With mods and careful adjustment it has been accurate and large enough for my metal projects and cuts a 6x6 timber neatly enough to leave the end exposed. My hoisting gear helps it handle long and heavy stock.
