Hello all,
I am looking to scrap a craftsman 10” 3 wheel band saw I
inherited on it’s
last legs. I’ve been looking intensely at my choices for about
3 months
and have it narrowed to a JET 12” ($300) or a RIGID 14”
($375 but hopefully
I can catch it on sale sometime). Grizzly’s are out because I
don’t like
their user-unfriendly shipping practices, Amazon is out for the same
and
other lack of service issues of late. Other 14’s are beyond a
rather
strict budget available. Actually the Rigid is going to be quite a
stretch. I imagine either saw is going to be quite a step up from my
dying
three wheeler. I’ve checked both over at the local BORG’s
and
fit/finish/features look decent. My usage = serious hobbyist. I may
do a
bit of re-sawing but primary will be roughing out shapes for furniture
(i.e. skirts, legs, etc…). Any opinions on whether the
14” Rigid is worth
the extra $75 or do I stick with the 12” Jet.
Thanks

One day I set out to buy a Jet 12" bandsaw. After getting to the store and
looking things over, I bought the 14". Glad I did. To go from no bandsaw to
a 12" may have been ok, but to upgrade from anything to a 12" is just not
much of an upgrade. I'd go for the Ridgid 14"

I've got the Jet 14". I like it, but nothing super special about it that I
can see. In this case, I'd go for size - the Rigid 14 over the Jet 12.
