I am contemplated buying a new bandsaw to round bowl blanks and cut spindle blanks from logs including green wood. I want at least a 12 height of cut and I sometimes turn pretty large bowls.
I am thinking of one of the below and would be interested in your views or recommendations of other saws. One reason I am looking at these are bc they have roller guides which I assume are better than ceramic. Am I wrong?
I am a hobbyist turner and it will not see a lot of use. I have a 220 outlet.
Grizzly 0513 2hp https://www.grizzly.com/products/gri...-bandsaw/g0513 1300, shipped (ON SALE)
I note that its fence is not the best and one like the jet is another $150
Jet JWBS 15 - https://www.woodcraft.com/products/j...odel-jwbs-15-3, 1849 shipped but back ordered.
I will get a Highland Woodworking green wood blade for it I think.
Thank you in advance for the help. I have looked at the last couple of years posts along these lines.
