Im looking to buy a new 14" bandsaw..
If you were me, what model/brand would you buy, and why?
I do a medium amount of wood work,bandsaw is not a primary tool.
That being said ,I would want an accurate tool.
PRICE IS AN ISSUE
Im not into junk want to do this once and be happy

TIA


lots of options.

if it was me, I'd be looking for a 30 year old delta.

some folks have been happy with their harbor freight delta clones,
with a bit of tweaking.

there are a lot of other delta clones being sold by lots of companies,
including delta, at a range of prices.

rikon is selling euro style machines that review well. they seem to be
mid- priced. similar machines are sold by lots of other companies.

this might be a place to start:
