Today I finally got a bandsaw. I've been looking around and had pretty much settled on getting the 12" Craftsman Bandsaw. Selling points were the low price and the 7" resaw height. It was on sale this weekend for $249, additionally the sales clerk threw on the 2-year in home repair for free. Assembly was a breeze, all it required was putting the stand together, attaching the upper trunnion, and mounting the table. I had this baby up and running in under an hour. So far it appears to have good power and will be a much loved addition to shop. More to come as I give it a work out after the dust collection installation is finished.
