Hello all,
I am just gathering my tools. I have a belt sander and have settled on a drill press. I have researched band saws, and because I have never used one, I'm not sure what I really NEED. I have access to hard wood logs so I will re-saw the logs for my scales. I will also use it for small projects, cross cuts, maybe scrolling. My question is these things vary alot in bells and whistles, from a cheap skill 9" to the most I would buy is a grizzly 14". From my needs above, do I really need something like the Grizzly 14" w/ball bearing guides or will a 12" used sears work and give satisfactory results?
All have a Merry Christmas and a good (profitable & safe) New Year!
Tony
