Re: [RCSE] I picked up a Sears Bandsaw.

I agree with George, the Tradesman is not nearly the tool the Craftsman is.  
I happened to be going to Sears yesterday and stopped in to see what the 
fuss was all about.  There is NO comparison in the quality and capability 
between these two saws.  At a $130 for the Craftsman, its a marginal value, 
but its a much better saw than the Tradesman.  If I was in the market, I'd 
wait for the Craftsman to go on sale.  By the way, the Tradesman is only a 
1/4 hp.  You get what you pay for.

I don't know if anyone has noticed but it's not a Craftsman band saw, it's 
a Tradesman.  Definitely not the same thing.  I don't know if anyone else 
has personally found this to be true, but I sure have: "buy cheap, buy 
twice"!
