Default band saw recommendations

If you can afford the 10-325 that would be a better option IMO--it gives
you 13" resaw capacity, a tension release, and another half horsepower,

I've got that one. If the OP needs the resaw capacity that's the one to
get. It's not the best bandsaw in the world but IMNSHO it's the best for
the money - *if* you need the resaw.

I got one when they first came out and had a couple of problems, but Rikon
fixed them with no hassle.

The bottom blade guides are a pain to adjust, but I don't change blades
all that often.
