Hi,
Will porobably purchase a 24 inch, single phase band saw soon, and my budget is in the low 3k. Looking for 3hp. Usage would not be limited to resawing. I am wondering if anyone has experience or comments to offer per the following models:
-Powermatic 2415: I am realy considering this, but the following review brings up some interesting issues:

-Tannewitz HB600 - an old, great name, this is 5 hp, single phase.
-Laguna LT 24: a bit out of my budget (at 4k).
-Minimax MM24: above my budget, but wondering if it is worth paying extra for this. (I think that this sells for somewhere around 3.5k).
-Oliver: Not sure of the price, or the reputation of the new oliver models.
-Bridgewood: Shying away from this. Would just buy Agazanni.
-Agazanni: Great reputation. I know the reputation, but wondering if vibration might be an issue as this is lighter (600lbs. that other manufacturers models).
Any comments/suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks,
Brian
