   I would not touch his bandsaw unless you have his permission and you were cutting a few pieces of wood not fiberglass... A bandsaw is kind of a personal thing, like a surfboard...  It has to be tuned to operate right...   I suggest you go buy a decent circular saw with some balls to it and a solid shoe (not one that is bouncy)... Attach it to a piece of plywood and you are good to go...  You can do a lot with that saw...  If you are careful you can cut out most of your window with it, rip lams width wise if you need too or possibly even rip a whole lam with it...  Clamp that belt sander on its side...  Make sure the motor can breath so you don't burn it up...  I made a good bit of bows with a hand held belt sander... 

     Good Luck...
