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)

Dave, I looked at what House of Tools has, I have thought long and hard
about 14" cast two wheelers....a little more than I want to spend
although if I could find a used one.....I was in the states yesterday
and dropped by a Sears store and was kinda impressed by the Craftsman,
its depth of cut is 7", whether it has the jam to do that or not is
certainly debatable
