I've been using a 1980's model Craftsman 14" Bandsaw I bought at an Estate Sale for $60 for about three years now. When I bought it, it had a terrible wobble so I switched out the old rubber tires for some fancy urethanes. That helped some but it appears that whomever had the bandsaw before I did never let off the tension and over the years warped the lower cast wheel.
I really want to get into resawing my own timber and have a bandsaw that doesnt wobble as bad. I feel that I've narrowed down my selection to the Rikon 10-326 or the Grizzly G0555X (with riser attachment).
Anyone have any advice, pros/cons, recommendations on something else they would like to share? Thanks!
P.S. - I really want to stay in the 110V range as I don't have 220V in the location nor do I want to run a 220 service over to the bandsaw
