PIONEER Band saw 17"?

Here’s the image (just find an image on the web then right click on the image and select copy location. Paste the link when you use the insert image tool when creating at post or reply). I’ve been looking at the Pioneer brand myself. About the same quality level as a Grizzly or Rikon. Might even be made at the same plant.

thank you for info on how to post pics:) i was looking at this yesterday and its the same price here in oregon at westerntool as the 19”, the fit and finish looked really good, i compared them to the rikon and its looks almost identical. they will be going on sale here in a couple weeks for around $1150. so im thinking im going to go with the 17”. For a hobbist i think this will sufice my needs.

Brad,

Before I bought mt Ricon 325 I was looking at the Jet 17” band saw. I would give it a look before you decide.

Ok now that ive had some time to kill at work, ive been looking at the Grizzly GO513 17”, it looks exactly the same down to the specs as the pioneer and rikon, and about $300 less, under $900 with shipping. what to do what to do, this is going to be my last bandsaw otherwise my wife is going to kill me lol my first and only other one was a craftsman 12” that i sold last week for about the same as i paid for it two years ago.

I prefer the grizz… just an opinion

-- making sawdust....

i have never owed a grizzly product but from what i have been reading they are just as good if not better that others.

ok ordered grizzly whewwwwwwwww

Take you time when you set the Griz up. Nothing more frustrating than working with a tool that was not setup properly to begin with. I’ve purchased several used tools and have had to tear down and re-assemble to get the tool working properly.
