the sears saw.  It performed remarkably well as did the comparable
Rockwell.  I have noticed that most of the craftsmen at our local craft
shows use the sears saw and do some beautiful work.  I was so impressed
that I have long considered getting rid of my Delta 14" bandsaw because
it did not handle the thinner blades as well as I hoped it would.  I 
have recently purchased an Inca 20", three wheel, bandsaw and think it 
is the greatest thing since peanutbutter!!!  This is not an inexpensive
saw, but it handles blades from 1/16th inch to 1 inch with ease!  I have
scrolled through 8 inches of hard maple and oak with the 1/16th inch 
blade with ease and accuracy....truely an amazing feat!!  With the 1/2
inch blade, I can resaw hardwoods quickly and accurately for use in
constructing small boxes and projects.  The 1 1/2 hp motor really makes
this saw a pleasure to operate.  I was able to get a good price on this
saw by getting two other club members to purchase saws at the same time.
