My old craftsman I bought 2nd hand and it has served me well. The cuts had been dead on. The spokes in the wheels are cracking. I'm quilty of not letting the tension off the blade.
I leaning toward the 17 inch grizzly but I have not gone any farther than thought about it.
If you see both links I shown you will be quite pleased!!

Thanks
I bought a new Laguna bandsaw. After I assembled it, I did a test cut, and had a blade guide problem that wiped a brand new 1/2" Timberwolf blade. I called Laguna customer service in CA, and a new set of four guides and a "premium" 1/2 blade were at my door in Florida in less than 48 hours. That was accompanied by a personal cell phone number for the customer service rep who assisted me, asking me to contact him directly if I had any more problems. I've been using the saw for four months, and it is very impressive. I think that customer service problems are a thing of the past at Laguna.
