I have a 14'' Delta band saw, I also have (my pride and joy) 1940's era 16'' Walker-Turner band saw that I have completely rebuilt.
Anyone no why the miter slot on the Walker-Turner is between the frame and blade? Yes the table is on correctly.

Frank,
I have a 12" craftsman and also a 24" 3wheel Dupli-carver that is quite old but works like a charm.

Hi Guys;
I have a Grob 18" bandsaw, about 50 years old and completely rebuilt. They still make them and in AMERICA!! Great machine.

I guess my public must be pretty huge then.

20" Rockwell/Walker Turner wood and metal, 18" Grob also wood and metal. BTW, the Grob is the only bandsaw I'm aware of with a compound tilting table which made it a favorite in pattern shops where draft angle in casting patterns was made easy. I once owned a 16'' Walker-Turner that was a great saw and no Richard I don't know why the miter slot is on the left side of the blade. I also have 5 other bandsaws where two are really for metal cutting only.
Work safe, have fun, enjoy the sport.

I had expected Delta to "win", so am suprised by its "defeat" by Grizzly and the "tie" by Jet. I was also surprised at the small numbers for Powermatic, Rikon, and General.
