    Have you tried the Kerfmaster from Spectrum, the Bladerunner from Iturra or the Wood Slicer from Highland the latter are the same stock, the former is very similar. Not sure about the non-wood materials but those blades would be just the ticket for a small "underpowered" saw.

    Zack, most aftermarket fences are designed for saws in the 14" range. I would get one with the fence.

    I have the 12" version of the Craftsman. I think it has more to offer than most people give it credit for. I compared the 10" to the 12" before buying the 12" I'm glad I got the bigger size.

    John

    Zack, if you haven't pulled the trigger yet on a 10" bandsaw, the Craftsman 21400 bandsaw is currently on sale on the Sears website for $149.99. This saw gets pretty good reviews.
