Who would have thought buying tools was so hard. I have a question about a bandsaw and could use some advise. I have been looking at purchasing a bandsaw. This will be my first bandsaw and I didn't want to make the mistake (tablesaw???) of buying something and out-growing it in a year. I have been looking at the Jet bandsaw and am trying to figure out if 1/4 horsepower is worth an extra $100. I have looked at the 1 hp and 1 1/4 hp models (14") and can't decide if I should spend the extra money to get the extra hp. If I get the 1 hp model I can go ahead and get the riser block and not go over budget. Yes, I have a budget (at least my wife thinks so:-D ).
I also looked at the 14" grizzly and can get the 1 hp Jet for the same price, once I include shipping. I would pray to the "Wood Gods":eusa_pray for the answers, but thought you guys would be able to help sooner.
Go BEARRRRRRS!:eusa_danc
