I want a bandsaw and I have a ok amount of funds for a mediocre bandsaw, It's not my top priority tool so I don't want to go on spending 500$ on one.
While I was at sears getting my sander fixed and what not I saw a craftman 10" bandsaw for about 150$, online I saw it was 200$.
It is a benchtop. 1/3 HP. Felt decently sturdy. I've seen reviews and it has mainly very good reviews for the price.
MAIN POINT!-
I found this same bandsaw on craigslist new for 100$ I offered 80$ and they agreed. They apparently bought it in a full package deal of different saws and they didn't need it. They opened the box, looked at it, and put it back in.
Do you think this saw is worth it? For cutting handle scales and mainly straight cuts through hard wood. I don't see too many curved cuts in my future
What do you think?
