Misses the mark a bit:
As I own, and liked, Mark Duginski's original bandsaw book, I was looking forward to the updated version. Well, is IS better than the original.

Just read your Manual:
I really didn't find anything useful in the manual. My Rikon manual covered the info in the book. Directions on the few jigs that were covered were a bit confusing and appeared to be missing info. There are not nearly as many jigs discussed as the cover implied.
Bandsaw Guide Book:
This is a must have book for anyone who uses a bandsaw. If you ever had a problem with your saw this book will help fix it!
