I am thinking about getting a 14" band saw for the shop ... don't have a tonne of money to spend and I've been looking at the following 3 models. I'd like to hear thoughts on which is the best deal or which people think I should go with for one reason or another.
Also, does this Grizzly band saw ever go on sale? Should I hold out until it does (on Amazon or their site directly)?
#1 - $399 Delta (model #28-276) 3/4 HP available at Lowes. I don't think this comes with any fence. I could pick this up at the store so no shipping.
#2 - $435 + shipping (approx. $510 total) Grizzly 0555. 1HP Comes with fences and everything I think I need to get up and running. Riser block available for only $70 more ... quite a bit cheaper than the Delta.
#3 - $550 + shipping Jet 14" 3/4 HP. I don't think this comes with a fence or mitre gauge.
I'm leaning towards the Grizzly at this point. I am located in New Brunswick, Canada so the best option would probably be to have it shipped to an address in Maine and then drive over and pick it up. Anyone have any shipping addresses or other options of how I might do this? Are there any Grizzly resellers in Maine or do you have to order off the web?
Thanks.
