Grizzly G0514X2B 19-Inch 3 HP Extreme-Series Bandsaw w/ Motor Brake
Serious hobbyists and small-shop pros who want maximum wheel size and an 18-1/4 inch throat with a 3 HP motor and an electronic motor brake that stops the blade in about 3 seconds, at a value price. Requires a 220V circuit. Buyers who do not need 19-inch capacity can save with a 17-inch G0513X2; those wanting 16-inch resaw should look at an 18-inch premium saw.

Serious woodworkers who want a premium 18-inch saw with 16-inch resaw height, Laguna ceramic guides, a disc brake, and 1-1/4 inch blade capacity for large hardwood slabs and veneers. Buyers who resaw wide stock often and value ceramic guides and a fast-stopping brake. Those who need less capacity can save with the 14BX or 14|12; a Grizzly 19-inch offers more throat for less money.
