You have mentioned Grizzly and that is probably a good bet. =A0While my
band saw is an 18" Jet, I would not hesitate to look at the Grizzly.
Grizzly used to provide contact info for up to two persons in your are
who have made a purchase similar to the tool you are considering.
Also of note is the fact that for years Fine Woodworking would not
mention Grizzly in their tool reviews. =A0A few years ago the big Griz
Jointer took top honors; and a recent issue selected two of their band
saws with top ratings. =A0I own two of their machines (1023s cabinet
saw, G0453 planer). =A0They are high quality, good performers and their
service is great. =A0With Griz you might move up to a larger table and
stay in the $1K range.

BTW - When I ordered my Grizzly Cabinet saw it was 36 hours from the
time I placed the internet order until the local trucker called for
instructions. *That was a shipment from Springfield, MO to Wichita, KS
- about 320 miles. *I believe Grizzly has a larger store/warehouse
north of you in Bellingham, WA

1225 miles bellingham to LA via I-5. *1613 from springfield to LA.

And it's more like 250 miles springfield to witchita.

Your are right. 267.49 miles from Wichita to Springfield if you take
the convoluted route Mapquest suggests. I added wrong in my head.

Point?
