bugman96 Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Saw an add for a 9" delta bandsaw...$75. Yes or no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thegarehanman Posted September 9, 2005 Report Share Posted September 9, 2005 Well, what do you want to do with it? If you want to cut out body blanks, you might have a rough time. Sometimes, I feel constricted on a 12." 16" is nice and roomy though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unclej Posted September 11, 2005 Report Share Posted September 11, 2005 i've got two 12" bandsaws in my storeroom..for me they just don't have the juevos for what i'm doing so i can't imagine that a 9" would..'course i get a little impatient too and if your budget or space is a concern and you take your time and not horse the wood through then i imagine that it would work fine.

johnsilver Posted September 18, 2005 Report Share Posted September 18, 2005 Bugman, I have that bandsaw. Paid $99 for it just like Wes says. I bought it because of space limitations - needed a benchtop model that I could move around. It works fine for what it is. I've cut out 4 bodies including a 2 7/16" thick mahogany/maple Les Paul body. Can't cut out a body all in one go so it takes multiple passes - just takes a few minutes. I've also used it to cut neck blanks out of 3" laminated mahogany. The resulting cuts require a bit of clean up but it has done the job for me until I get my dream shop.
