The following band saws are available with a delivered price difference of less than $100. Since the price is virtually identical which saw would you select?

The first question is do you have 220 in the shop.

The I guess I would go with the Griz, it has a larger table but just about everything else looks the same. Plus for me I don't have 220 in my shop.

Most people speak well of Grizzly's CS.

i just took delivery of the 513x2b last week. nice saw. only thing not like is have hard time putting 1" blade on due to location of slot in table for blade change.

If I was in the market for one, the Grizzly is the one I'd be ordering...!

I think he's saying a price difference of $100 from most to least expensive, making the price not an issue.

The Laguna is too low on their totem pole, between the Grizzly and the Rikon I would get the cheaper of the two. For me they are a wash performance and feature wise.
