If you're set on a small one - then give the Ryobi a look too. I started
off with the BS100.
It's too small for what I wanted to do.


I'm pretty happy with the Ryobi 9", for $87 anyway. No matter what bandsaw
you get, buy Duginske's The Bandsaw Book and set up your saw according to
that. You need every advantage you can get on these little cheap saws. And
toss the blade it comes with right away. It's not hard to get good quality
blades custom made to the 59-1/2" length, if they don't make them already.
