There is a 14" shopcraft bandsaw for sale here. $70

Any reason not to buy it?

Is it a 2 wheel or 3 wheel saw? I'm not familiar with shopcraft, but if it's a 3 wheel saw I'd not be interested. I had a 3 wheeler generic when I didn't know any better, and whatever I paid for it, it was too much. Underpowered, poor blade tracking, breaks bands frequently. :(

What is your planned use for this saw? Before we know that it is hard to say if this one will do the job.

I've not laid eyes on it.

But I want it for turning blanks.
