I replaced my old Wilton 8" bandsaw with a Jet 12". Not very impressive to those of you who have 14" or larger saws but it's a good upgrade for me and I fear it's as large as I can go in my present shop.
Almost as good as the new saw is I replaced the Homier mobile base(2 fixed and 1 swivel casters) with 4 heavy duty swivel casters from Hartville tools. This change makes the saw very much easier to move and even gains me a small amount of space as I don't have to allow for the lever on the front of the stand. This saw should allow me to do pretty good sized bandsaw boxes and also to resaw lumber that I use in boxes. Hopefully saving some coin.
