I purchased the 14" Grizzly Ultimate Bandsaw with the riser block AFTER checking out the Delta and Jet models. It's absolutely great. I use it primarily for ripping roughsawn wood into dimensions for guitar-building. It had no problem ripping 12" deep planks of padauk (very hard wood) into 3/16" planks for guitar back and sides. The bearing guides work great, too. It runs very smoothly, no vibration or chatter.

You'll never regret spending the extra bucks on a good tool. You'll always regret spending too much for too little.
