Been following this with interest, as I have a similar saw in my "someday will get to it area" that I want to use for resawing.
How do you like that ... |

Well John.........I do use both, but I still prefer Craigslist. The Craigslist adds usually give much more info about the item as well as more pictures. At least that has been my experience. |

Post: RE: upgrade rockwell band saw to 1 1/2 hp
I ordered the 1 1/2 hp Vevar motor from Ebay so we'll see how it goes. We don't get many used motors in this area on Craigslist
