All opinions requested.... good or bad.
The new Minimax S14 bandsaw looks intriguing The price puts it right in line with the Delta 14" X5, the Jet 16" and stretching it a little, the Laguna LT14 and Powermatic 14".
They are all 1.5 HP with varying resaw capacities, Delta and Powermatic (6" - 12" with riser), Jet (10"), Laguna (8.5") and the Minimax (8").
Supposing that I'll never resaw anything greater than 8", what are your opinions on these machines?
If you've already gone through this decision making process, what made you decide on the saw you eventually purchased? For owners of any of these machines, what have you found as strong and weak points?
I appreciate everyone’s time. Thanks.
