Looking for the right Band Saw to purchase

You don’t have to spend quite that much unless you are doing some big resaw work. The Rikon and Laguna are both a little more than a thousand. Can regularly get a 10% sale price with these two. There are a lot of threads here discussing the many saws available

I would suggest the Laguna 14-12.

Thanks
I am new to LJ how would I find those forums?
From what have read the Rikon or Laguna are the ones to get.
Really appreciate your quick response!!

I purchased a Rikon 10-326 a bit over a year ago. I use it professionally… Although, I am not firing it up every day, it is getting a good bit of use! I would say I use it three out of five days and it has held up, not lost adjustment, stood up to everything I have put to it…. I would happily recommend it.

The few laguna tools I’ve used have been really good tools as well. I certainly wouldn’t turn anyone away from one of those either.

I waited until WoodCraft had a 15% off Rikon sale, then pounced….

I’m really enjoying my Powermatic 14”. It was money well spent. I got it when Wood craft had it on sale with free shipping.

Thank you all for your assistance.
Really appreciate it!!
