In Response To: Tools: Decent band saw for under US$250? (Bob May)

: I went shopping for a band saw over the weekend and was appalled at the crap
: available at the big Orange or Blue stores and Sears.

: Floppy tables, belt tensioners incapable of actually developing tension, etc.

: Anyone aware of a decent 10 or 12 inch band say for around $250? I haven't
: seen anything used in the local classifieds.

I'll ditto what Bob and Gerald say about the Grizzly line. I bought a lathe/mill combination machine from them two months ago and it is surpassing my expectations. My bandsaw is an antique Craftsman so I can't comment directly on the Grizzly bandsaws.
