Comments on the the above two wheel steel frame band saw anyone? Looking
for a hobbyist band saw for a small shop...other possibilties would be
Ryobi 9002 or perhaps Ryobi BS1001


Paul,

I bought a small bandsaw from House of Tools for $200 for my smalll
basement shop. It's decent quality, but I *really* regret not saving a
bit more and buying a 14" that could take a riser kit.

The small saws really are limited in what they can do. You should think
hard about a 14" Delta or such.

My $0.02 (CDN)
