Craftsman Craftsman 12 in. Band Saw any good?

Paul,

I bought a small bandsaw from House of Tools for $200 for my smalll basement shop. It's decent quality, but I *really* regret not saving a bit more and buying a 14" that could take a riser kit.

The small saws really are limited in what they can do. You should think hard about a 14" Delta or such.

My $0.02 (CDN)

Dave, I looked at what House of Tools has, I have thought long and hard about 14" cast two wheelers....a little more than I want to spend although if I could find a used one.....I was in the states yesterday and dropped by a Sears store and was kinda impressed by the Craftsman, its depth of cut is 7", whether it has the jam to do that or not is certainly debatable

Looks like it may be US only, I couldn't find it on the sears.ca site.

I'd like a 7" resaw depth, fer sure. But the price for a 14" isn't that much more...

If you look down the page a bit, someone wrote about it in depth.

How far? I went back 600 threads and did not see anything, kinda bad eyes...could you point me where HaHa? THX
