Does anyone have one of these? I have been eyeing this one for my small
storage shed/work shop. Could I re saw a 3/4" or 1" thick X 6" wide board if
I wanted to re saw to 1/4" or 1/2" thick with it's 1/2 horse motor and 1/2"
max wide blade? I realize that a 14" saw isn't that much more but the extra
height and weight won't fit as easily and no way I could add a riser block
anyway. Any comments you have are appreciated. Thanks.

I've had one for a couple of years, and I like it fine. I use a bandsaw
mostly for all those weird little misc. cuts that come up during most
projects and it does that stuff perfectly. It doesn't have any extra
power, but I resaw with it once in a while and it's perfectly OK. I
bought some good blades, and spent some time tuning it up (although it
came out of the box in good alignment). I wanted a bigger saw, but space
was a problem for me, too. Space isn't such a problem now, but so far I
don't see a reason to replace it. I didn't expect to be as satisfied
with it as I am, but it's a good little saw for what I need it for.

David

Snip,snip. Thanks, glad to hear it. One of the main things I think I would
use it for is for re sawing boards for edge banding pieces, and wouldn't
need to do over a 6" wide(tall) board. Looked at the Delta 14" again at
Lowes this morning and with the motor behind it, it makes it take up too
much room depth wise. The $319 at Post tool I like, then can get a couple
good blades and work on a good fence. Ahh, but first to figure out just how
to get room to squeeze the 12" in. Thanks again.
