Any recommendation on which band saw is better the Jet 14" Deluxe (JWBS-14DXPRO) or the Rikon 14" Deluxe bandsaw?
Also what about the Jet 10" Jointer / Planer Combo with Stand, Model JJP-10BTOS and the Rikon Planer/Jointer, Model 25-010.
All of the above seem to be between 900 and 1000 (except the Jet 10" jointer which is ~$500).
If you were going to buy one now and maybe the other in 6-12 months what would you recommend first? Of course I also need a good dust collection idea... Or would you recommend some other tool to add to my "collection"
My currently list of power tools:
Drill press (it is an older one, don't recall the name, but it it works well so far)
Milwaukee Router (not sure the model, not variable speed)
Excalibur 21" scroll saw (love this thing)
Skil 3400 table saw (crappy).
Drills (a few)
Porter Cable circular saw
A broken miter saw I want to replace some day.
Right now the scroll saw has been my main tool, making toys for my daughter and gifts for the wife. But I have plans for a desk, bookshelf, some additional cabinets/desk/shelves in the kitchen. I'm a DIYer and enjoy trying to do new things. At some point will also be making a bunk bed. We have a lot of trees we cut down periodically so I figured the band saw might be nice if we have some hardwoods to try to use the wood we cut down for woodworking.
Thanks,
