Just wondering if anyone's familiar enough with this item to do a review. I can get a refurbished one from this guy I've known for years who buys up tools from Sears and repairs them. Usually its defects that have nothing to do with the performance.
what model? I have an 18" bandsaw badged craftsman built by Parks probably around
1970. it's a solid, well made machine, lacking a bit in finesse but a real workhorse. you can see a picture of one like it here:

I suspect you are talking about one of these:

so, I can't help you much there, as I don't have and have never used one of those. it does, however look like a pretty generic taiwanese bandsaw to me. quality on those seems to be a bit iffy- lots of folks report getting decent performance out of them after performing various modifications on them.
if you like to tinker with machines, and you don't mind not getting a warranty and the price is right, it might be a good deal. Bridger

They show some 25' bands and probably make larger on order. I wouldn't want to hit a nail with one at those prices. Perhaps a cobalt-tipped band is impervious to measly iron bits, y'think?
