I wanted to get the Grizzly 14" but my girlfriend is pregnant, so I settled on the Craftsman 10" for now. With 4 1/2" resaw, it will be enough to get my feet wet. I have a 2hp motor that I can use to replace the stock motor, but is that possible on this saw?
I can now do curved cuts for furniture, which is why I bought it. I got 4 blades in addition, all 70 1/2 in:
1/8" 14tpi
1/4" 6tpi hook
3/8" 4tpi hook
1/2" 3tpi hook
I will be experimenting with resaw, and small log milling as well, and I don't expect stellar results, but I have patience and I'm very resourceful, so I forsee some decent results and in any event, a lot of learning.
By the way, got it on Sears.com for $170 plus free shipping. :)
I challenge anyone to find a bandsaw to beat that price.
Any tips on resaw or general bandsaw setup and use are appreciated.
Thanks!
Joseph
