Bobby Slack Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 I assembled my gates and came out pretty good. The assembly would have been a lot easier if I would had jointed pieces. I learned the art of using lots of clamps. This brought me to the conclusion that before investing on a bandsaw, I should take the opportunity and buying my friend's used 8" Delta. He wants $ 750 and is in good condition. I think that later I can upgrade the head with a Shellix helical head right? His machine is in perfect working conditions. I would have to re-wire my garage for 220 and that is where a lot of the money is going. So .... used Delta or new Grizzly? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
