So this year I decided that I would buy my own gift for Christmas--after a year of comparing band saw and their vices & vertues , I decided on the Craftsman 14 in saw. For the money ($400) it's a great saw. 8 inch resaw, i hp motor etc. For another $21 for Timberwolf 1/2 inch blade and about $10 for 3/4 in melomene for a table top and fence(see youtube), I now have an excellent saw. What a difference the timber wolf blade made. Tottally amazed howwell it cuts, I have some 3in x 6 in x 48 inch walnut and it sliced 3/16 boards like it was butter. I'm like a kid in a candy store. Now if I don't cut my other thumb off---Richard
