Any owners out there that can comment on their satisfaction with this saw? I'm going to be adding a small band saw to my shop and this seems to both check all the boxes and have a couple of favorable woodworking mag/forum reviews. That said, I'd rather hear from a real owner.
My situation:
Hobbyist woodworker. I'm looking for the ability to resaw up to 6" as well as cut curves and other fairly precise small cuts. I see this saw has a riser option available if I want to resaw larger sizes down the road. I'm after smooth, quiet operation. The versatility I'll be looking for will require multiple blades so changeover needs to be quick and simple. Replacement blades need to be easy to find. While I have 230/1/60 available for my table saw and dust collector, this will need to run on 110V. I need a good mobile base (cramped basement shop). I see most of these saws come in a couple cartons and assembly is required. While I have an Engineering degree, I don't want that to be a prerequisite for successful assembly. I'm looking for something that goes together easily and requires a minimum of tweaking.
Thanks in advance for any commentary. If you've been down this path and gone a different direction, please school me.
