Confusion is mounting.. budget $400-600ish & 110V. Current bandsaw I have isn't suitable for resaw (Yee Haw, I'll omit the brand name admitting that ya get what you pay for!). What I'm looking at are the 14" Rikon 10-321 (599.99 at sears); 14" Sears Craftsman BAS350 (359.99); 14" Grizzly G0555LX (604 with shipping).
All are 1HP and similar specs. I like that the Rikon & Craftsman have 8" cut height against the Grizzly 6"..Although I've heard you wouldn't get much more resaw capacity than 5" in any case from a saw in this category? I don't understand the price difference between the Rikon & Craftsman as they look so much alike, exact same specs etc.. None come with a resaw fence, so I'm assuming I'd need to search one out to fit the Rikon or Craftsman. Grizzly sells one for $100 for the 555.
