Yes, you definitely want a band saw. I have a Sears from quite a few years ago (80s) that I absolutely hate, though I finished a '10 with it.
Now my wife is using it a good bit and I still hate it. No matter how much I adjust it the blade cut will never align with the table, the light flickers, it's just cheap. The Ryobi may be a step up.
But for you tool fools - who makes a good/high quality bandsaw? Brands, models?
BTW, I also have a recent vintage Sears combination belt and disk sander. Works fine but the safety switch failed on.

I'm so done with Sears stuff. I'll go the HF for cheap stuff, just don't know where to go for good stuff.
