I took a look at local Rockler store couple months ago, it’s a OK bandsaw. Don’t buy it because of its brand name. |

Thanks, I’ll keep it in mind. I wonder how good the grizzly 14” is?? Thanks, Michael Frey FREY WOODWORKING INC. |

Greetings Delta: I’ve got nearly the exact same bandsaw….Mine’s a 28-212, and they both look pretty much alike to me.. Had mine about 10 years, and not a minutes trouble with it…it runs smooth and quiet.. Once you get it tuned up and good blades on it, you should have no trouble if you decide to buy it. I use good quality blades, and that is a big plus to use on any bandsaw. If you want to, go to my home, then click on my woodshop pixs, and you can see it..they look like twins…... Oh….and in my opinion, Grizzly is a piece of crap….I had a 14” (my first one I bought), and it flew apart and broke the bottom shaft, and the wheel flew right off and nearly got me…..I had another Grizzly product… it was a piece,too… But you decide what brand you want…it’s your $. Maybe they are better built nowdays….I don’t know or want to. That’s just my experience. -- " At my age, happy hour is a crap and a nap"..... |

Nearly everyone of my tools are Delta, and no problems with any of them either….I think you’ll be happy with the bandsaw..I know I am….... -- " At my age, happy hour is a crap and a nap"..... |
