Craftsman Bandsaw

[Terry Murphy]

I see a lot of the Craftsman 12" tilting head band saws for sale.
Are they anygood?

They are quirky...I used one for a bit while it was being stored in my garage many years ago. Not a whole lot of cutting gumption, either, if I recall. I was much, much happier with the 14" Jet that I eventually bought after building my first shop. (I probably would have kept that Jet after buying my MM16, too, if space allowed as it was really great for the lighter duty scrolling work with narrow blades)
