So I finally got to the point in the new woodshop where I was ready to order a new bandsaw...The must haves included cast trunion, cast wheels, blade brake and 12" of height for resawing....Did my research, read endless woodworking forum responses, read the fine woodworking review of bandsaws and came to the conclusion that the Grizzly 0513X2B fit the ticket at an affordable price...Today I decided to pull the trigger and order that bad boy so I could enjoy a long winter of enjoyment with my new addition...(I'm pretty excited)...
Little did I realize that it ain't quite that easy to spend money in America these days...
Called Grizzly this morning, went thru all preliminary infor for billing, had the shipping procedure explained and I was ready to meet the truck driver at the road with the tractor and pallet forks at the ready sometime in the next week to 10 days....
UNTIL...
I was informed by the nice lady at the tail end of our conversation that the BS was back ordered and wouldn't arrive UNTIL sometime in MAY...(by my count 5 months from now)....
So much for the "excitement"!
Just wondered.....Any suggestions as to where I might find said BS before MAY?
Does anyone know of anything comparable that I might have missed?
Thanks in advance....(I apologize for my first post being somewhat of a rant)
