Davis guitars Posted July 6, 2006 Report Share Posted July 6, 2006 ok so im buying a new band saw probly this weekend but i was wondering where every one buys theres? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlGeeEater Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 (edited) I got my 14" Ridgid at the Home Depot. Can't beat $350 & 10% off for the floor model, PLUS they did all the work to get it into my truck. It's the biggest bandsaw they sell in the store, but I believe you can get bandsaws anywhere online.

Hydrogeoman Posted July 7, 2006 Report Share Posted July 7, 2006 Grizzly 14" Ultimate Bandsaw with the optional 6" riser block. Great saw for the $$ even with the shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

erikbojerik Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Rikon 18" at Woodcraft ($900 for the floor model). Roller bearings, 1-1/4" wide blade capacity, solid welds, easy to tune up. I can resaw tops up to 12" wide (just did 9" rock maple for 2 Les Pauls yesterday). 220V was a challenge, blades are a bit spendy, but I really wanted bomber resaw capability and I am not disappointed.

sumphead Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 Amazon.com is a great place to buy tools as well after you have done your research and made a choice. ALOT of thier tools ship free. I bought a 600 lb. Delta Table saw and had it drop shipped to my garage FREE, that and not paying tax I ended up paying nearly $500 less than I could have bought it locally. They also carry most brands including Grizzly, Jet, Delta, etc. HTH, R- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erik, What blades do you run? I used to run Timberwolf for my Hard Maple, Coco, Ebony and such, but I ran a a bit of Ebony through with my Woodslicer recently. Man it was smooth and I didn't cook the blade, actually it didn't seem to dull it at all. I have a new level of respect for Woodslicer blades. They stay sharp on very hard woods, run cool, and only take less than a 1/16" of material per cut (not to mention blades scratches are slight, making surfacing much less wasteful and speedy). Darn good blades IMO. Peace,Rich Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
