Default bandsaws

I guess my first problem is I don't know what you really want to do.

Is this an occasional resaw or are you going to be using the saw an hour
a day, five days a week.

It makes a big difference.

Obviously you could buy a Taiwan special 14" bandsaw and you could with
some effort resaw 1" x 4" stock to 1/8 or 3/16. I have done it for some
Shaker Boxes, but can't recommend it. Moving up to a 14" Delta with
riser blocks will gain you some in quality and height, but the machine
is overtaxed so you have to go fairly slow unless you replace the motor
with 1 1/2 or 2 hp, which is more than the machine was designed for.
