I've been thinking about getting a bandsaw lately and I was wondering if you all had some advice on what to look for in one. I don't want to spend tons of money, but I have a feeling that the $99 Ryobi might be lacking in certain areas. I'm hoping to spend about $300.
What are some things to look for in a bandsaw that someone not totally familiar with them might miss? I'm guessing that having a rip fence would be a good idea. Any other attributes?
