I have to recommend you check out Laguna Tools. Not only is it a great machine with quality parts and a quality motor, but Laguna saws offer a larger resaw capacity than most others but in a smaller size saw! Do not quote me on what I'm about to say, but I believe I'm close to accurate...My LT 16 has a 12.5" resaw capacity, and a Grizzly, Jet, powermatic or pretty much any other band saw you need to buy an 18 or 20 inch saw to get that type of resaw capacity, and you know the larger the saw, the more the cost! My opinion is that the throat capacity is far less important than the re-saw capacity, and the power of the motor is important, and you have a heck of a time stalling a Laguna machine! The Laguna I think can run on 120 power, but also can run on 240...or however you want to call that...the larger power supply being better of course!
