You mentioned that you would be doing some resawing. This won't even compare to the Laguna 16". First with a fully cast wheels inside the saw is very robust and balanced quite well. Second the very need for <FONT size=5><STRONG>that cylinder</STRONG></FONT> in the picture means that you have to constantly account for <FONT size=5><STRONG>blade wandering</STRONG></FONT> like most other Bandsaws. On the Laguna this isn't necessary since you simply put your stock against the fence and push the material through. I can cut so thin on a 12" wide board that you can see through it. Thinner than regular veneer with no thickness changes throughout the length of the cut!  If I hadn't seen it done before I bought it I never would have. The price scared me away at first until I saw it put through it's paces. Third I believe that the <FONT size=5><STRONG>motor quality</STRONG></FONT> isn't nearly as good. Fourth the <FONT size=5><STRONG>ceramic blade guides</STRONG></FONT> further eliminate any type of blade wandering whatsoever so smooth and consistent cuts are insured on every try. The ceramic blade guide also allow for a slightly greater capacity of something like 13 1/4". I liked the Jet until I tried the Laguna and then, well .... I just had to have it. :-)<BR><BR>Greg<BR><BR><A class=moz-txt-link-abbreviated href="mailto:Erwinspiano@aol.com">Erwinspiano@aol.com</A> wrote: <BLOCKQUOTE cite=midbe5.91c8690.3290bc47@aol.com type="cite"> <META content="MSHTML 6.00.5730.11" name=GENERATOR><FONT id=role_document face=Arial color=#000000 size=2> <DIV><A href="http://www.jettools.com/magazine_ads/710751/info.cfm?CFID=7379783&CFTOKEN=44638542">Bandsaw Specifications</A> </DIV> <DIV><STRONG><EM>  Mike Morvan suggested a jet.  I have a 14 " already.  This is a larger saw with many ergonomic features that the Laguna doesn't.
