I'm pretty happy with my Norwood. Not many used ones on the market, though. Might look at sawmillexchange.com for a used mill.
That may be the case over short distances but over the full length of that image those lines (on the image) are bent and the spacing between the cuts is not proportional to distance.Are you saying, that from the origional pict., you can't see that the blade "isn't" riseing/dipping in the cut???? That's what "straight as an arrow" means to me.
Unfortunately it is not obvious to bandsaw detractors - they want nothing less than to see straight lines right away across the image.It's obvious that i'm NOT cutting thick n thin lumber!
Cheap glass, heck even expensive glass has distortion the further you get from center.
Pictures aren't precision instruments.
I am very familiar with "straight as an arrow" but unless fired vertically, this is perhaps not an ideal analogy for extreme straightness. If an arrows' path has any horizontal component they follow a parabolic path and they wobble significantly in flight. Maybe straight as a laser? :smile2:
I believe the expression refers to the arrow itself, not the trajectory. The arrow shaft must be perfectly straight to fly predictably.
Maybe but . . . .

"Honest, genuine, as in You can trust Pat with the money; he's straight as an arrow. This simile alludes to the arrow's undeviating flight through the air. [Second half of 1900s]"
Urban dictionary has
"a phrase used to describe the straightness of a guy that is nowhere near gay or to be "straight" on a situation."
or
"Lacking breast ; female's body that lacks the curves of a woman "
This shows an interesting slomo of what arrows look like when they leave the bow

They don't look that straight to me.
I have a norwood lumbermate 2000 that I would probably be willing to sell. Trailer package, log loading package, squaring bunks, cam dogs, siding jig, and about 20 blades.
