I am looking at buying one of 2 Craftsman 12 inch Band Saws.
The first saw is a direct drive, 2 speed, 1 and 1/8 HP with a tilt head.
The second is a belt driven saw with NO tilt head (but has a sander builtin). No horse power is listed but i did find one that "looks" just like it with a 1.2 HP motor. It does not indicate if its 1 or 2 speed.
Any insight you can provide or considerations would be appreciated. the belt drive unit is much closer to my home. But which is the better unit and why ? the prices are very close at about 100 dollars.
