I have the Jet 5X6 - it's a good saw and cuts very accurately when tuned right. I suggest joining the 4X6 Yahoo group and downloading the tune up guide. The saw needs a good table for vertical cutting and a chip brush, both of which are simple to build but otherwise is one of the most used tools in my shop.
 
Looks like a good score Kennyv. A friend and I had a look at a 8x5 bandsaw on the weekend. It is a well known brand in OZ but this one was missing the motor and something had fallen on it and broken the arm casting. He said he wanted $300. Must have hallucinated rabbits ears emanating from our heads.These two bunnies left him with an offer of $50 and a phone number. He rang this arvo to say to take it. P.S. Stop working late and get some rest. Sleep deprivation is deleterious to your health.
