   How much is it if you buy one in Boston?

   $200 seems pretty reasonable for something as heavy as a band saw.  I doubt you'll find anything better.

   I think a new 14" Jet bandsaw runs about $550. I would see if I could locate a dealer near Boston. Or, Tampa is beautiful this time of year. You could take a little bandsaw buying vacation and drive down to get it. It is about 24hrs. of drive time. Option #2 probably the more expensive way to go, but definitely the more fun.

   I was in Tampa visiting my parents..$300 would have been a good deal if it weren't for the shipping. So I left on the plane without it.I've heard that you can get some good deals at the woodworking shows, and I was planning to attend the one in Springfield.A friend of my dad's was selling his entire shop (respiratory problems!) I picked up some Marples chisels, Sorby turning tools, a Stanley Bailey #5 plane, and a PC ROS sander......so I did ok.Thanks,
   Randy.
