    Bandsaw Opinions

    I may be in the market for a new bandsaw if SWMBO goes along. Currently I'm using an older 14" Jet with a riser kit that has seen a lot of use.

    Woodrat: Any opinions?

    Out of curiosity, I ordered the Woodrat DVD and have enjoyed watching it. I seem to remember that one of you guys over in Raleigh has one. It looks interesting but $800 for a "jig" is a lot of "sawdust"! Do any of you have experience using a Woodrat, and if so, is it worth the investment?

I know nothing about them and can find precious little in the way of online reviews. I know it used to be a good brand name, but with Sears "Good-Better-Best"...
