Band saw questions

Hey Buck,

Great tutorial. That $99.00 band saw you use, is it the 9" shopmaster. If so what do you think of it? Any problems cutting bodies with it?

I've been considering getting one but I was told that it probably wouldn't be deep enough and would have to flip the body face down to cut the cut out.

I've also been looking at the Craftman 10" bench top saw. I'm limited on money and space(my wife is convinced the garage is for the car )
So I have a corner of the garage with two work benches in an L shape.

I would eventually like to cut strat bodies also. So would I be able to do that with a 9" or 10" band saw?

I really don't want to spend more than $200.00 on a saw so if anyone knows of a 14" for around that, I may consider it.

BTW buck, what area of Iowa are you in. I live just north of Cedar Rapids.
