Harbor Freight band saw - Part 1 - Unboxing and Inspecting Parts

This video shows the unboxing and pre-assembly inspection of my Harbor Freight band saw. It's a Central Machinery 4x6 horizontal/vertical metal cutting band saw. I purchased it new from a local Harbor Freight. The parts were inspected while removing them from the box and there were minor issues with my budget bandsaw, but I'll fix them all with some mods and upgrades during later videos of this series. In part 2, I assemble the band saw. Below are some links to the most cost effective replacement blades I could find for this saw. I receive a commission from some of the links in the description.
