hi all,
I am looking to the JWBS-16 jet band saw, this is a 16 inches 1 1/2 HP band saw.
Reason for looking at this particular saw:
It has more than resawn hight than the average 14" band saw - 10"
it is not as big as the 17" 18" and larger saws only 69" tall.
it will work on 115V, at this time I don't have 220v.
and for the price I can get for a 1 1/2 hp the price is resonable: 899.00
draw backs, I still need to buy the rip fence this is optional in this saw
odd blade size 123" hard to find but I can order them from timber wolf.
I would like to ask if anyone owns this particular band saw and share your experiences.
regards
luis
