I found this grizzly on craigslist Sunday for 750. It's a 19 in. 3 hp with a 12 in resaw.
I didn't have a bandsaw and have been looking for a long time. The ones I usually see are generally not in very good shape, or they want almost retail. This one looks new. The guy also had it already tuned. I went back through the owners manual to make sure. Everything was setup per the directions. He said he bought it to resaw some wood for a project but just had the lumber yard resaw it for him.
I made a few cuts with it and determined the blade leaves much to be desired.
I don't know much about bandsaws never having one before. Could I get some recommendations for blades. I'd like to do some resawing and use it for curved work. I was thinking a 3/4 for resawing and a 1/2 in. for a general purpose. The specs. say it will take from 1/8 to 1 1/4.
