Hi,
I'm looking to replace my older Delta 14" bandsaw. It doesn't have the riser block and I'd like at least 10" of resaw capacity. I want it for cutting bowl blanks for my 1840 lathe and also for resawing green and dry wood. Budget is around $1200. I've narrowed it down to Jet 14FSX or for a little more $ the Laguna 14BX. I really like the idea of the foot brake and the extra HP the 220v version offers. Laguna now has a 2-year warranty. Any thoughts or experiences with these? I emailed Laguna customer service with some questions and they replied in 10 minutes. That gives me confidence in their customer service. Both will be having a 10% off sale in January.
