[Woodcarver] Band Saw Choices!

[Byron]

Several years ago I purchased a new band saw.  Right about that time there
was several reviews published about 14" band saws.  Going strictly from
memory, highest ranked was the Delta, then Jet,  and then a couple others. 
Near the bottom was Grizzly.   The price follows pretty closely.  
Jet and Delta are very close, the biggest difference, besides color, is
that Delta and angled lower blocks.  This puts the lower blocks closer to
the cutting area.  I settled on a Jet and it's given me a lot of good
service.

I don't respond very often, but I really appreciated the opinions about
Band Saws. Especially the personal experiences shared.
