Jet wood metal band saw

[Ram48]

Does anyone own one of these? I have been looking at them and would like to here from some owners on how they like or dislike them.

 

[Want a be machine and too]

Our local College has a lower priced Jet horizontal metal band saw ($1200.00) in the machine shop class , the quality is decent and it will make straight cuts within 3-.005" on 2" OD steel and for the most part it has been student proof. I would assume there quality would be just as good for the wood band saw as well.

Are you looking at a brand new one - or an older used one?

I was the parts guy at Jet for 10 years from '90-'00.
