Good morning all,

I found a Jet JWBS-14X that I am going to look at this afternoon. It is a one owner saw and he has added a riser and carter blade guides. It has the quick release handle and looks to be in good condition minus some rust on the rear fence guide.

He is asking just under $500. Is it worth it?

This will be my first bandsaw and every time I read posts on here everyone goes get as big as you can. This is the budget range I am looking for (wife approved). I do hobby wood working. Long term I would love to try resaw hard wood and get a lathe (so cut blanks) but at this point I am not doing much of that yet.

What type of things should I double check? I was thinking blade tracking, tires, and bearings, anything else?

Thank you all
