TimFor most things, a 11" tabletop from Sears will do just fine. Get one with variable speed so you can cut some metal fittings also.Alo, welcome to the list.Dick N.Arden Hills, MN.----- Original Message -----

Subject: Re: Pietenpol-List: Band Saw?Tim, Since I have used a bandsaw almost every day of my life for 21 years, my opinion may be of some value. I have owned or worked with almost every type of bandsaw there is. My favorite is still the 12" Sears freestanding model. Itis cheap, reliable and you can find the blades anywhere there is a Sears. It has 2 wheels (preferable), takes a wide variety of blades and has power enough to cut "pack-ups", or stacked pieces. They are also very easy to rebuild,should you ever put that many hours on it like I do. It is light enough for me to load on a stock truck by myself when going on the road with my business. And no, I do not work for Sears. But I sure recommend the saw.Ron________________________________________________________________________________
