I'm gettnig ready to take the plunge......
I see that many have band saws. Can I get by with an inexpensive Ryobi/Rigid/Delta for $99? These all seem to run 3000 rpm.
Or do I really need a variable speed to drop things down to the 300-400 rpm range?
Is the distance between the blade and the saw critical? I'm not sure how long a typical piece being cut is and how long the stock it's being cut off are?
