Rob, I too would like to get a good band saw or two. I know that the little piece of junk that I have for a vertical band saw not very good for anything. Sears 12" wood saw but two speed. The combo saws seems like the wheels for the blades would not work for cutting very accurate in the verticle position. So I probably end up getting one of each. I been keeping tabs on Craiglist. Always a few there, then I search for the model number in Google and it sends you usually to some tool forum. Usually gives a review and tells you if good or bad. Now to find some money somewhere.
