Has any one seen this new 16" saw? I have their mortiser and lathe. The specs sound good, but I have not been able to find a price yet.

I didn't know they made one, so out of curiosity I did a Google search. Looks like a few places are selling them for $899. For some of the features they have on the saw, it looks like a pretty good deal - assuming it's a decent saw.
The Fisch site has the most complete specs I saw, but doesn't list the price
http://www.fisch-woodworking.com/ Look under the New Products section (can't get a direct link to it).

Not bad looking ...but for $100 more you can get he 18" Rikon with 2HP motor. This seems the current bargain in resaw worthy bandsaws to me, but I'm just an upgrade dreamer ...and a real bandsaw is VERY far out on the horizon. :rolleyes:

It LOOKS a lot like the Jet 16". Definitely a different blade tension adjustment, but the cabinet looks a LOT like the Jet.
