I'm looking to get a band saw for under $2000.

I'm a total woodworking rookie ... it's been a hobby for about 5 years. About every 6 months I'll look into band saws and then talk myself out of getting one. Then I'll do a project where I wish I had one...

Every time I go "low end" on a (power) tool, I end up "getting what I paid for" and I feel like I've wasted my money ...

I'm betting the answer to this question is, "depends on what you'll use it for" ... and ... I'm not really sure (it's not like I'll be re-sawing 18 inch boards every weekend).

I'd like to have something that will last 10 or 20 years... and probably be enough of a machine that I can "grow" into ...


I'm looking at:
