I'm comparing some Grizzly Band saws against some Jet Band saws. Do I really need 2 HP vs 1 HP? I didn't even know what Resawing was until I started this search. Will I ever even be doing resawing??? The Grizzly's come with a fence and a miter gauge but the Jets don't. The Jet has a 5 year warranty vs. Grizzly's 1 year warranty. Id' like to spend my budget wisely but I don't want my most expensive tool to be the one that I bought cheaply and had to replace (Thanks Jim for that advice!). So much wood, so little time...
