Saw preferences?

[jaybk5211]

Just curious which band saw people use for cutting, I am looking into purchasing one for cutting LPS. I have a wet tile saw for rocks but the blade is so wide it would kill a lot on things like acans or chalices.

Thanks in advance for the feedback.

I am using a inland

I disliked the inland I had. The gryphon is a much better saw.

Ronnie since you have had both, what are the pros and cons you saw?

Inland - had metal pieces (rust), the blade was a pain to change, and the water resovoir wasn't ideally placed. I also had issues with the blade coming off and disliked the alignment screws for it.

Gryphon - none of the issues above, disassembles beautifully for cleaning, and it actually takes the same blades as the inland, so you can find them for cheap on amazon or ebay. This saw cuts like a dream and has a much larger table for cutting.
