Price??
Almost anything is worth buying at the right price!
What is yor intended use?
I have a Craftsman 12" bandsaw, the one with an aluminum frame. Works great
for what I need. Will it re-saw 6" oak? No way!

I recently saw part of a cable TV show touring the National Hardware
show. They showed a tilt head bandsaw from one of the well known tool
makers (not Sears but I do not remember who). It was touted as novel.
Wonder if it solves the problems with the Sears?

I think I'm giving it a pass. The tilt head seems like a badly executed
idea.

if it's the cheezy one with the ribbed aluminum table it's too
lightweight to do any real work on. the frame warps if you look at it
funny and the tilt mechanism has so much flex in it that depending
what you are cutting and the feed rate used you're going to get
different angles. I know a guy who had one. every time I talked to him
about it he would end up telling me how much he regretted getting rid
of his 18" Walker Turner.

Oh my God...it's a tilt head saw. I'm having second thoughts. Any opinions
on tilt head band saws?

Update: It looked very similar to the 113.248xxx series also. But this one's
only 1hp and I don't think it's electronic.
