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

i bought a brand new 14" Delta at home depot about a year ago. at that time it was priced at ~400 dollars Canadian. it's a geat machine! heavey cast iron frame, good electrics, four inch dust collection port, micro adjust blade guides. i agree with the other poster who said to toss the factory blade and buy better quality. in future i plan on upgrading the blade guides to a full roller bearing system even though the side blocks and rear rollers work just fine.
