Hello to all,
Being a "registered" lurker, I thought I would try to pick the collective brains of the creekers on a small topic. I am looking for a small bandsaw with decent resaw capability and throat depth. My two constraints are size and price. Since I am literally a "winter sunshine" woodworker I have very little space to store the bandsaw when not in use and have a limited budget also.
I happened to notice Bernie Weishapl a while back mention the Delta bandsaw BS150LS, but have been looking for it both locally and online. Only a few places seem to carry it. Considering size and price I thought it had decent specs for a small bandsaw. It is a 10" throat with a 7" depth and .5hp motor.
My big question, if it is ok compared to the smaller Delta BS100 and the 10" Rikon on sale at Woodcraft why isn't it more readily available? My local hardware store in West Palm says they can order it for me with a price of $199.00 + tax.
Yea or nay?
Regards,
Bill Antonacchio
