Does any one use the Harbor Freight 14" band saw? Is it any good? I have
also looked at the Grizzly 14" band saw and several others with the 6"
riser block. Price is part of the driving issue when the main use of the
saw is to cut rough turning blanks. I would like to hear all opinions and
advice. Thanks


I have one, and fortunately I bought it when the riser blocks were still
available for it.

Works great and is essentially the same thing as the Grizzly

I did complain about it for awhile, until I took the time to check out just
how I had tensioned the belts. Once I got both tight, I cuts very well.
For the price, it is really hard to beat.
