Does anyone here have any experience with the new Delta 18" bandsaw?
I have not seen reviews anywhere, but it looks like an impressive machine. I am trying to decide between this one and the Grizzly G0513. I am also considering the Laguna LT16, but I think this is pushing the budget a bit.
The Delta has 12" resaw, 2 HP motor, cast iron wheels, quick tension release, roller bearings guides (not euro guides), and comes with a fence. I saw one at Redmonds, but it was not plugged in. If anyone has used one, let us know how you liked it. A review of this saw would be great. Someone out there must own one!
Can anyone offer a comparison of the three saws? Are cast iron wheels worth the $400 premium over the cost of the Griz?
Any help in the decision making process would be appreciated.
