Looks a nice machine.

But, is it me, or is it left handed? Or is mine left handed?

My cutting side is on the right on mine.

yes Malc, compared to most it is back to front. The originals were made in France :) . Mention this when ordering the blades and your friendly supplier will turn them the right way around.

Is the green dust chute original or an "AndyMod"?

the plastic dust chute is original. The MDF "rings" are my mod to step up from the vac hose size to 100mm.

Thanks - satisifes my curiostiy :lol:

My bandsaw does not attempt to collect locally from the blade but instead allows it to drop to the base and out of a port there which is perversely rectangular. Like you, I have made an adaptor to 100mm from scrap ply
