14" bandsaws

Check the various magazines. I think either Wood or Pop Woodworking did a review of the top 14". Usually Jet comes out pretty good.

What the friggen hell! You can still smell a bit of cosmoline on mine and I paid $500 with $50 off, now it's $379 - $75? GRRRRR! I would be all over that.

I'm quite happy with it so far. Everything was aligned out of the box. No problems getting the drive/wheel pulleys inline. It was mising 8 bolts for assembling the stand. The shipping isn't cheap, but at least for me that included lift gate service.

If you do not mind, who much was shipping with lift gate service?

I can not get that coupon to work with either the Grizzly GO555 or the Jet JWBS-14CS.

The Jet JWBS-14OS that I find on Amazon is $499 with free shipping.

But...

I can't get the coupon to work! 75OFF300

Oh, and the Delta 28-209 is $379 pluss 99 shipping, so $20 cheaper than the Jet.

BUT... I Still can't get it to take the coupon!

It was/still is $99. I can't say for sure it includes lift gate but that's what I got. I was surprised the truck showed up with 2 guys and a lift gate. Oddly when I had looked at the cheaper open stand model the shipping was higher, somewhere near $150. I guess they do a fixed rate on the higher volume ones.

That sounds very resaonable. While I am looking at a BS that is about 465 pounds from Laguna plus accesories, the shipping cost would have been $260 with lift gate from California to Houston TX. Fortunatley I negotaiated that cost to be absorbed by Laguna plus a few hundred extra.

I tried them both this morning. The Grizzley didn't work cause its not shipped by Amazon, but the Jet was fine.
