Hey Tim
I can't believe they treated you that way.
I have had nothing but good experiences with Hyd Mec.
I have used many of their products and they have all been superb.
Sometimes we get Lemons though.

I suggest that you also take a look at the DoAll line of saws.
Made in USA (last I heard anyway)

DareBee, i dont hold it against them,everyone i talk to speaks highly of hyd mech and i know that you cant please everybody,i guess it was just my turn.

i had to go to my local material supplier today and purchase my material pre cut and i noticed all there saws are DoAll and one cosen. i have been looking at the DoAll line and they sure are nice i cant seem to find a new one under $27,000 fully auto,although i have spotted a couple on ebay around $10,000 used.

today i tried as a last ditch effort to adjust the saw to a slower speed by one pulley size and titened the blade as tight as i can get it and it seems to cut without the blade jumping off or breaking the blade,i still have to constantly adjust the flow controller so i think my issue may still be in the hyd cylinder, it may be fine,but in the longrun i want an automatic saw anyways

those lexas saws are real nice,and well layed out but real pricey.

thanks for all the advice.

-Dake makes an auto-saw. (This is a name I had never heard of until they started sponsoring all the car programs on Speed TV).
-Amada makes a nice one (maybe we will be scared of the price?)
-Baxter Saw Model 360HFA (Another good quality Canadian)
-Kalamazoo is nice.

I have not seen (in person) the Amada or Dake and the names of the rest of the saws I have seen/used or not coming to me.
