Bandsaw Choice
Im looking to replce my 20 year old Craftsman 12" bandsaw. I will use it
primarily for resawing, cuting dovetails and joints and some bandsaw boxes. I am trying to make my mind up between the Rinkon 10-325, Powermatic PWBS-14CS and the Jet JWBS-14DX. The Basics: Rinkon 10-325 -1 1/2 hp motor -16X20 cast table -13 inch resaw capacity -ball bearing blade guide -quick relase lever -work light -$749.99 with resaw fence Powermatic PWBS-14CS -1 1/2 hp motor -15X20 2 piece cast table -12 inch resaw capacity -Carter ball bearing blade guides -Carter Quick Release Lever -9 spoke cast wheels -Halogen work light -cut line chip blower -$799.99 with resaw fence and 6" riser after a $100.00 rebate Jet JWBS-14DX -1 1/4 hp motor -15X15 Cast Table -12 inch resaw capacity -Cool Blocks -9 Spoke cast wheels -Jet Quick Release -$759.97 with Resaw fence and 6" riser All are within my price after adding delivery and a mobile base. I am familure with the Jet and have found good info on the Powermatic, but info on the Rikon is scarce. Anybody have any experience with these and any recommendations on what to buy? |
