The folks at baker were great. It was a painless transaction. I sent payment by mail and recieved an invoice back. When I went to pick it up ,they loaded it for me,went all through assembly and did a demo on another mill they had set up.
All in all a very un stressful day. heres the last picture

Please pardon my ignorance on this subject. Exactly how do you cut straight, parallel edges with one of these bandsaw machines? Do you have to rotate each flat (don't know the correct term) 90 degrees, reclamp it, cut an edge, rotate 180 degrees, reclamp, then finally cut the second edge? Can you cut the edges on more than one flat at a time?

Thanks.

The process is called edging and yup you can do multiple boards at once as you describe.

Sometimes you don't need to if you are taking boards off a squared up cant.
