I think its safe to say that when Carter introduced their guides for the 14" Delta's, it changed how the market looked at the potential bandsaws had. Great purchase.
new bandsaw guides
I had an old 14" delta bandsaw that wasn't cutting great. I hadn't used it at all for several years. I had seen some carter videos like this one below where he makes a reindeer in 2 minutes. if I tried that there'd be a finger or two in there probably.
really liked what I saw but I was put off by the price. for everything that I wanted it was $400:surprise:. new guides, tires, 2 blades, a magnetic fence and the stabilizer that makes your saw cut like a scroll saw. they say the saws today, or least the ones in my price range, aren't made as well as my 1990's delta.
I finally jumped in and am really happy I did. it wasn't hard at all to change the guides. at some point I want to try some of this 3D stuff too.
