Well, I have been looking for a larger bandsaw for quite some time, but my area doesn't have a ton to offer on the used market. At the moment, I really couldn't afford to spend 800+ on a saw, so I was almost dead set on the Grizzly G0555P w/ the free shipping. Then, this popped up on the used market, for less than the Grizzly!! I saw it listed Monday morning, and had it back at home on Monday afternoon. It fits right in place.
Included with the saw, the HTC Mobile base, two magnetic lights, 4 brand new blades (a woodslicer, some carter blade, a Timberwolf, and a Lenox (not sure which model), 4 used blades, and a "bandsaw basics" book. Quite an upgrade to the Craftsmen (re-painted Rikon 10-305), though that thing is a nice little saw. Being I am in a one-car garage, I will probably have to either sell, or put the Craftsman in storage until I move into a larger space.
*Edit - Small world story, the sellers wife and myself both graduated from the same high school, about 40 years apart, and we both now live 600 miles away from that town.
