I'm looking for recommendations on a bandsaw. I want try my hand at one or the Bingham bows and maybe build a couple of bows for some eager Boy Scouts. Would like something middle of the road that is both functional and reasonable. Suggestions??

If I was going to buy a new saw this would be it.

I second Dano's suggestion. I have a Grizzly band saw, table saw, belt sander and other goodies. They sell very good tools, have parts readily available when needed and a great tech support system. Pat

Grizzly. Either the one Dano suggested or the next model down (a bill cheaper) would have more than enough power and area great performers.

I also have the Grizzly Ultimate band saw and I have been very impressed with it.

Guys, I have a whole toolbox full of Ryobi tools that I use VERY hard at work. I just recieved a new 9" Ryobi bandsaw for Christmas----and I am excited to see if it performs like the rest of my tools. I have seen the cordless tools outperform and outlast DeWalt and Bosch.

I just went through the same decision making process and settled on the old standby - Craftsman. I went with the 12-inch model with a 3/4 hp motor, best for the money that I could find and locally to save the shipping issues.
As I type this I'm at "work", on tradgang and reading the Owner's Manual for the new saw - how productive!
I'm taking a half day vacation to head home and set it up. I'll let you know how it goes.

I just bought the Grizzly G0555X Extreme Bandsaw. It is $200 more than the Ultimate but comes with enough upgrade stuff that I decided to splurge. If I get real serious about bow building I probably will be glad that I did.
I did a lot of research and was originally going to get the Ultimate. Dollar-for-dollar the Grizzly saws can not be touched by anyone.
If you want to buy THE BEST 14" saw then the Laguna tools is the one - $1500.
