Kev Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 @Olie sent this to me and it's a little interesting.. I have a suspicion on the "new technology" but, thought I'd drop the picture here for some discussion and guessing from the group just for fun..

Chet Posted August 1 Share Posted August 1 Without knowing, I am going to guess the the technology is more suited to a production setting the hobbyist. So for a pro it may be money well spent and for a hobbyist just money spent.🙂 3 Quote "Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for." - Epicurus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kev Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 At a glance, this is the only thing that sticks out to me.. Could that be some sort of speed control or auto tensioner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodenskye (Bryan) Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Variable speed or pre installed DRO? Personally I don’t see the benefit of either. A bandsaw is a simple machine and isn’t a huge production machine unless you have a power feed and a good way to move material after its cut. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olie Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Harvey provided another closer view and I zoomed in on a couple areas. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olie Posted August 11 Share Posted August 11 The technology is apparently a blade tensioner, brake lock, and push button built in LED lighting. Seems cool but will probably come at a hefty price as I heard it would retail at close to $4200. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It does have the new big eye fence too and nickel plated top but still about twice the cost of a decent 15” bandsaw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coop Posted August 12 Share Posted August 12 My Grizz bs only relies on the intelligence of the operator. So far, that has been tolerable. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
