Delta Bandsaw on Craigslist

There is another Delta but with very little info other than a height extension. Asking $500.

Both are over priced IMHO. That's close to new. I paid $700 for the 1hp back in 2002-2004. So used it should be much less. That being said, if I had to buy a unit today, it would not be that unit. I would be buying a euro style. The Delta just wasn't what it should have been.

I would be tempted to look closer. IITC, this model is one of the last Delta's made in the USA. Might want to do a little research on that.

That, along with the mobile base and riser, certainly make it worth considering, especially if you can talk down the price a bit.

Don't let anyone piss on your parade if you're looking for an affordable, used 14" bandsaw. This one, if it is indeed "made in USA", and with a few tweaks, would likely do whatever the average woodworker would ask of it.

That's what I was thinking. It's a 2003 with the riser block and the mobile base. It also looks brand new, not "did a very thorough job of cleaning up" like-new. The guy will probably take $500 for it. In order to get that quality, new, you're looking at probably $750, without the riser and wheels.

That quality new, new way north of $1500 I would say.

Really not. Mine with a riser block, mobile base and circle cutting attachment were all included at around $700, and a 14v Delta Drill. Delta was running a special, and I suspect they must have run other specials of similar types.

And mine was American made. BTW that means little as I had lots of issues that I had to resolve to get this machine cutting. I was quite upset with the quality. Wish I had bought the Laguna. But that's done now.

But when did you buy yours? And how does that convert to today's dollars? I know that most equipment had increased in price significantly in the last 5~10 years. For instance the Rikon 18" band saw has increased in price by 60% since

laguna 14-Twelve is $875

much better deal than a delta

Care to share where you saw that price?

saw that saw price at the source

What source? Do you ever back up anything you post?

Might be a sale somewhere but it's not hard to post it, is it?

Prices for that saw almost universally are in the area $1,000

No, his posts are barely coherent.

MSRP is $1097. There's an used/demo unit available on Laguna's website for $875.

Dishonest of EC not to note that it was a demo unit at that price.

There is also a Demo LT16HD for $2799.

$1100 at the source

Actually, when I checked the idiot's work, I found that Laguna had a sale offer on the 14/12 at $987 and then add a couple hundred for the mobile base and light as shown.

IOW, Bullsh*t once again.
