I’m debating getting a 14” bandsaw from Harbor Freight. I know there’s a few mods out there to improve it; upgraded tires, upper guide, blade, and a riser block for resaw capacity. These upgrades seem to be a standard recommendation for most brands that I’ve looked at various price points. The general thoughts I’ve found have been its a good choice for a hobbiest, which I am.

For the people out there, what are your thoughts on the ?

@chuckfrain I got one a year ago. It works well. I think my next one will be 220v because I keep bogging this one down by pressing too hard when I’m impatient. All-in-all, even without mods it isn’t bad. I’m still trying to figure out the blade tensioner but that is as much an experience problem as a product problem.
