I am considering purchasing a ShopFox W1706 14" bandsaw, but have a concern based on the review of bandsaws in Wood Magazine (Sept. 2008 issue #185). When resawing 6" red oak, they claimed that the W1706 had nearly 1/10" difference in workpiece thickness (top to bottom) due to blade deflection.
Has anyone experienced this problem? Resawing is not at the top of my list of requirements for a bandsaw at this point, but excessive blade deflection is clearly not a good thing...
I'm also looking at the Grizzly G0555X.
Thanks for any insights.
