Default Bandsaw recommendation

14" saws work well for your needs. Delta, Jet, or Grizzly are pretty good "home
shop" saws. Be sure that you get more than a 2-speed saw, I had to add an
jackshaft to mine, plus a more powerful motor in order to resaw 6" wood.

Stay away from Reliant, Trendlines, and other under-$300 saws; they are much
more cheaply built than those mentioned above, though they look similar on the
exterior. The actual HP on the motors on these are exactly one-half the
advertised HP; that is, they are "rated" at a peak rather than continuous
current draw.

You won't need a larger bandsaw unless you are cutting out crook timbers for a
heavy traditionally built boat over, maybe, 27' or so. Then you need a Doall
24"er, YEAH!!!!! Macho bandsaw :-)
