Band saws for wood and metal
I would like to purchase a band saw in the $1000 price range capable
of cutting both wood and metal. I've found some information on two possibilities: Wilton's 14-inch 8201 Tradesman band saw and Craftsman's 15-inch wood and metal band saw, but I haven't seen either saw and I don't know anything about Wilton's reputation. I'd appreciate recommendations for other saws that might work and any information others have about the Wilton and Craftsman saws. Among the things that would be helpful are knowing where the saws are made (Taiwan, PRC, etc.), whether speed change uses gears or belts, and how the saws compare to JET band saws in general quality and features. Thanks for the help. |
