In Response To: Tools: Decent band saw for under US$250? (Bob May)

A 14" Grizzly bandsaw, or similar Jet, Bridgewood, etc. is about as good as you can get as inexpensively as you can get. The Harbor Freight bandsaw looks like it might be ok...but it's not up to the Grizzly. A bandsaw is one place you need to go ahead and spend enough money on to get a quality product. Let's see...ah yes. Enco is also another brand that might be ok. These are not high quality products...but "good enough" quality.
