I'm looking at getting a bandsaw. Based on numerous reviews and my own comparisons, I think that I'll be getting either a 17" or a 19" Grizzly (bigger is better, right?).
Does anybody here have one of Grizzly's BS with a motor brake rather than a foot brake? Is it worth the extra $155 to upgrade? Stopping the blade in ~ 3 seconds sounds pretty good, but if you've got to reach over to hit the off button to activate, is it really that important?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks,
David
