While I am not a big fan of the import machines, I prefer to buy old American made Iron and restore it. That is a good saw and one of the best deals out there on a bandsaw. I have one and I have no complaints about it except for the roller bearing guides. But, that's what everyone wants even though they are not the best style of guides. Mine are 3-4 years old now and starting to get really noisy. I would replace them with cool block of oil soaked wood if I could find the holder cheap. But I have a replacement for it under restoration so I am not going to spend much on it.

Do yourself a favor and by a couple of Timberwolf, Lennox or Starret blades for it. Blades break when you least expect it, so you want to have a spare! And the Grizzly blade, at least on my saw, was cheap and dulled fast. Buy good quality blades and you will be glad you did.

Here is a photo of the saw I restoring. 1930 +/- 30" American.
