Cheap bandsaw

[ghesla]

Hello!

We are looking for a new (cheap) bandsaw to our lab, and as I know, some teams use Harbor Freight tools, so does anyone have this bandsaw?

If your team has, it is worth? It's easy to find a replacement saw?

We found too the SKIL 3386-01 2.5-Amp 9-Inch Band Saw and the POWERTEC BS900 Band Saw, 9-Inch that runs a 1/2 hp motor.

If anyone has any experience to share with any of these items or have another to suggest, we really appreciate!

Ps.: I know that these are limited equipment, but are ok for what we need and are willing to pay. Plus weight is a restriction, the weight can not be greater than 70lb.
