Looking for a quality vertical bandsaw for my home shop. Can’t be too huge. 14" is ideal. Something old and american preferred over some crap like grizzly. Doall, grob, RollIn, etc, but would consider a used Jet 1408 as well. Trying to keep the cost under 1500. ---

Need to get sub 50 sfm for a lot of metal cutting, that requires a gearbox, so that drives the price up. ---
