my son is needing a band saw for his shop so I think there are a few options.
1) I can get him the 14" wen. looks like the craftsman (which is not available)
I don't think this is a great saw by may be passable
2) I have a G0555 with riser, about 10 years old maybe older
I could give this to him and get a new one
maybe the G0555lx that's on sale now (still need to get the riser with it)
3) keep my current saw and give him the new one
I am giving anything up keeping the new saw or is it better than my current. the biggest difference seams to be the new one has cast iron wheels,
I also though about upgrading to the G0513 17" saw but really dont think I need the bigger size and could use the cost difference on something else.
thanks
