A lot of the better 14" bandsaws are copies of the 14" Delta that has been made for 40 years or more. If you get a used Delta of any vintage you can get replacement parts and upgrade parts for it. And the frame of those machines can take a spacer that opens the cutting depth to 12 inches.

: Greeting Bill I have a Daton model 3z981 band saw. I have had a lot
: of problems with the upper section. I have had to make a lot of
: the replacement part as the new parts that i have replaced are
: no better than the old one's. They are made out of pot metal and
: fail easy. The blade guides are worn out and cracked and I have
: not be able to find any replacement parts . These parts are hard
: to make but not inposable. I have been looking for an new saw
: but I hate to spend the money for a new one.The rubber
: protectors on the upper and lower wheels are to find as most any
: protector will work . The blade guides are easy to make which I
: usaly make them out of alumim stock with wear out faster but are
: easer on the blades. Hopeing you the best. Richard
