I've decided to get a 12" bandsaw to use instead of using my radial arm saw for cutting small pieces of wood for scrolling. The dust from the radial arm saw now flies and fills my woodworking room with a lot of airborne sawdust which as we all know is unhealthy. I really don't want to pop for a dust collector if there are other options. For my scroll saw I've set up the 20" fan with furnace filters on both sides. Since I still have a table saw outside, I'll have the ability to cut and rip my wood. My table saw was an el cheapo that has served me faithfully for the last 8 years.
I've been looking at the Chicago Machinery bandsaw at Harbor Frieght and I'm wondering if any of you on this forum have used one. I've bought some of their other tools and as a hobbyist, they've worked just fine. What's been your experience?
