I have a 25 yr old 12" Craftsman bandsaw with a tired 1/2 HP motor. It has done most anything I've asked it to do...except resawing. 1/2 HP is just too small. Anyway, it seems that I saw somewhere that if I were to put a 3/4 HP or so on it, it may be able to handle lighter resawing tasks. No, this isn't the "premier" bandsaw by any means, but in your opinion, is this worth considering? Ideally, I'd opt for a Grizz triple nickel or Rikon, but then I'd have to get it in the shop without SWMBO knowing about it...not likely!
All opinions welcome.
Thanks,
John
