It will cut up to 12" which is enough for my needs although there are times when I could do with just a small benchtop model for curved work. Still it serves me well and only cost me £260! :-)
Mailee, I am nearly convinced that the bandsaw is the same saw sold by Craftsman that I bought. I was told it is made by the parent company of Rikon for Sears. It shares many of the same parts and identical part numbers that are on the Rikon saws. Interesting!
