Well to make a long story short ...
I purchased a Delta bs100 band saw to make collectors and that thing wouldn't cut 16 gauge aluminum(with a loews metal blade 18 tpi). It has been over a month since i first purchased it and they would only give me store credit not a full refund so i can't purchase the harborfrieght 4x6 bandsaw.
There aren't many options at sears in terms of inexpensive band saws. I did find this one which is a 1/2 hp motor compared to the 1/3 of the delta

Has anyone used this to cut stainless and done so successfully? I do plan on getting a nice blade at enco if this one will do the job. if not i guess i'll just have to save up for a more expensive band saw at sears

 

its for wood cutting, it wont come close to touching stainless.

 

Darn does anyone need a sears gift card??

 

can you gear it down so it's slower then use a good bimetal blade?

 

you wont even find a bi-metal blade that small... theres a reason for that.

 

what size are the blades for craftsman 10"
63-1/2" x 1/4"?

 

the delta was 59.5 inches. I saw the sears 10 inch saw which is 63.x inches but it was discontinued. I can order it online but it's 43 dollars to ship it.

 

so are there any bimetal blades that fit the craftsman?
