Grizzly G0513X2 17-Inch 2 HP Bandsaw
Woodworkers who have outgrown 14-inch saws and want production-grade 17-inch throat and 12-inch resaw capacity with a 2 HP motor, in a currently-produced model with full Grizzly parts support. Requires a dedicated 220V circuit and does not ship with a plug. Buyers who do not need beyond 14-inch capacity should stay with a G0555-class saw; those needing 5 HP continuous production should step up to an 18-inch machine.

The Rikon 10-326 resaws up to 13 inches, runs at two blade speeds, and adjusts guides tool-free — a package designed for woodworkers who want a capable 14-inch saw without moving to premium Laguna or Powermatic pricing. The buyer uses a bandsaw regularly, values two-speed versatility for both wood and non-ferrous work, and wants a heavy cast iron table without paying for the disc brake and ceramic guide systems of the Laguna 14BX. Buyers who primarily cut wood at a single speed can save significantly with the Jet JWBS-14SFX.
