Here are my choices...(money matters)
MM16 -- highest price
Agazzanni B-18 $400 less
Hammer n4400 $500 less then B-18
Jet 18" 3hp -- $500 less than the Hammer
I am not going to do huge resawing (but perhaps in the future), but I am buying this bandsaw as to replace all the ripping of stock i was doing on my tablesaw (which i no longer have). My question is to get as close to table saw likeness as possible do i have to spend the money on the MM16 or could I get just as good of rips etc. on the hammer for almost 1k less.
Or...was i dumb to sell my powermatic 10" artisan saw for an awesome bandsaw
