    Is this 10-inch tilting head bandsaw worth $25?

    Got it today for $25 at Sears at the clearance section. It's marked as used, but I think it was a display model because there is no sawdust. Dust bag, miter gauge, blade, and manual are missing. Some slight surface rust on the table.

    Seems identical to the Hitachi 10" tilting head bandsaw which sells for $179 at Lowes.

    From another thread, i read that 3 wheel bandsaws are difficult to adjust. Do you think this bandsaw is worth keeping? I already have 2 bandsaws that I hardly ever use (HF and the 10" steel-frame Craftsman which I got for $50 at the clearance section)

    Thanks

      LOL, well put. It's certainly not a better saw than the two you own and don't use.

      If your only tool is a hammer, you tend to treat all problems as if they were nails.
