...
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


I'd go with Rikon. It is an new Chinese manufactured band saw and it is
whipping the competition in the band saw tests and comparisons in many of
the major magazines. Fit and finish makes most all the rest in the same
price range look pretty lame. Woodcraft is one of the resellers.

If you want this to maybe your last, consider the 18" model. You will be
able to do serious resawing with it.
