So I have been looking for used band saws for bowl blanks in my area for the last few months and have seen a couple used 14" Deltas with the riser block come up for $500-$600. Conversely, Harbor Freight has a 1 hp 14" band saw that would be around $300 with a coupon (plus $100 for the grizzly riser kit) for a new machine. I don't have the space or turn enough to justify one of the larger, beefier machines that are often recommended, but wondered if this HF band saw with riser would be fine for cutting bowl blanks on a limited basis.

Anyone else used the HF band saw? Would a good condition used Delta be worth paying $150 more?
Any thoughts/recommendations would be appreciated.
