Thread: Which band saw?

    Which band saw?

    The following band saws are available with a delivered price difference of less than $100. Since the price is virtually identical which saw would you select?

    The first question is do you have 220 in the shop.

    The I guess I would go with the Griz, it has a larger table but just about everything else looks the same. Plus for me I don't have 220 in my shop.

    Most people speak well of Grizzly's CS.
    Please help support the Creek.

    $100? Buy all 3.
    Never, under any circumstances, consume a laxative and sleeping pill, on the same night

    If I was in the market for one, the Grizzly is the one I'd be ordering...!

    I think he's saying a price difference of $100 from most to least expensive, making the price not an issue.

    The Laguna is too low on their totem pole, between the Grizzly and the Rikon I would get the cheaper of the two. For me they are a wash performance and feature wise.
