What kind of bandsaws do you guys use for your sub projects?
I've been looking at some used Delta or Rockwell units from the 50s/60s/70s. I would think a 10" is good enough for cutting PVC sheet plastic and polycarbonate tubes.. I've read that for a general purpose bandsaw, if you plan on cutting wood with it as well, it might be better to have a 14" with at least a 1/3 HP motor. 10 inchers seem to usually have 1/4 HP motors. I could see the potential use of cutting small diameter metal rods as well.
