    Band Saw - Harbor Freight or Grizzly?

    I use a Grizzly G4030 6x10 saw, had it almost 10yrs use it almost daily and have never touched it except for a couple of blades.

You will run a power input into the unit and run a power output to your motor and all will be controlled by the front panel on the VFD. If it has the capability you can use...

    Air hose fittings?

    I have a couple of quick connect fittings from Badger Airbrush that are a real quality fitting and not too much money wise. The one I have is a 51-042 if I remember which hooks to the standard size airbrush hose but I'm sure they make different sizes.
