And people think you only have to do those mods to Griz and HF
bandsaws. That's a real eye-opener, wot? What are Jets, about
$200 more than Griz and $300 more than HF? Har!


HF doesn't make an 18" do they? I've only ever seen the Delta clone at
HF.

I think you're comparing apples to oranges here (much different configs
of
saws ....)

Neither does any more. I think I got the last of Griz' 18s and HF
never did make one. But for comparison, the concept that Jet, being
more expensive yet no better, is valid. I've watched the guys here
buying Jets and Deltas for a decade now and the majority of them are
not fully pleased. It's sad to see.

Threre's nothing sad to see. You want to put a price on Jet's customer
service, which is probably even better than Delta's? There's alot of quality
in a Jet, *for its price point* , than cheaper machines. It wasn't my
intention
to put down Jet, I mean c'mon, did you look at my equipment list? I spent
$20.00 on fixing what *I* think was a problem, and it probably is not a
problem at all to other people. And since you-get-what-you-pay-for is a
truism, how much happier do you think I'd be with a cheaper machine?
