Grizzly Bandsaw Opinions needed

Hey everyone!

I've been in the market for an upgrade for my Craftsman 9" benchtop bandsaw for over a year now. Due to financial restraints (read...second baby due any day now) I've not been able to afford to purchase one new. However, I just came across a listing for a 14" Grizzly - Model # G1019Z on craigslist for $150. It runs and checking with Grizzly's site almost all of the parts are still available from them. Any opinions on this?

I purchased my grizzly table saw two years ago in much the same way and it needed a part but after replacing a part on the fence and doing some trunion alignment it is a beast! It has worked great for me since without any problems! It was also a Z series so I'm hoping that perhaps this is the answer to my bandsaw needs. Not doing a lot of resawing, but want to make a rocking horse (cutting curves) and some puzzles for my children.

 

Thanks!

Tim
