Brought a 14" Jet band saw home last night. Had to take it apart to get it here but it's back together now. Came with the Jet fence and resaw kit, two sets of Carter guides (regular and tight curve), the Carter quick-release blade tensioner, a mobile stand, and a half-dozen blades of various widths.

I've been watching band saws on Craigslist for quite some time and feel pretty good about this deal.

George :-)

Congrads - they're some good buys on Craigslist if you're persistent. It's amazing what condition, quality, and price you can find in the tool section, if you keep looking and are not in too big of a hurry.

Good score. I got most of my power tools from Craigs. Got my 14" Rikon band saw in almost new condition from a contractor that was going out of business and closing up his shop (got lots of other great stuff too). I got it for about 60% off of new retail price.

I picked one of these up on CL from a contractor who used it to remodel his house. It was only ever his, inside and was flawless. He sold it to me for $300, which I gladly paid. It's a nice little saw, congrats!
