I'm looking for a Xmas purchase. I saw the Delta Extreme 14 bandsaw
for 899.00

and theres the delta standard 14" for like 499.00


How does the standard saw differ from the extreme version?

: type of guides?
: open/closed base?
: motor HP?
: included accessories?

I suppose I could look this up myself, but I've got this ditty coursing
thru my noggin' (HBDTM. HBDTM. HBDDM. HBDTM.) I'm feeling pretty lazy
today. If you'll look these items up and repost the list plus think
about what uses you want for the band saw (roughing turning blanks,
resawing planks, scroll-type work, etc.) then you'll get a lot more
feedback and pros/cons.

BTW, I have the "limited edition" that cost a similar price.
