Anyone got any suggestions for a low-priced(cheap) horizontal bandsaw? Enco looks good @230 bucks on sale. Any suggestions? My arms can't take much more. What about blades? how long do they last?
 
I bought this Jet model HVBS-56M about 5 years ago and have not had a single problem with it. I buy 10/14 blades from my local saw shop for $20 each and they last a long time until I try to cut some real hard stuff. I know when a blade is getting dull because it will start to cut crooked. I use it several times a week. One of the most used tools in my shop. Great for plastics too because of the slow blade speed. I haven't picked up a regular hacksaw in a long time.
