How to install blade on Ozito bandsaw?
Hi, I'd be grateful for some advice with the blade for my Ozito bandsaw, before I go insane, which I unboxed just yesterday.

Can Ozito table saws take other brands of blades?
Hi all, Before I take a leap of faith with either of the two Ozito table saws on sale in Bunnings, which are all I can afford atm, can anyone tell me if they are interchangeable with other brands of blades, e.g. Irwin? And while I'm at it, can a circular saw blade be used with a table saw (seems to be a far better…
