: should look into the "King Canada" tools.

I use a 14 inch king bandsaw at work. the basic structure,motor and main wheels are fine but the guides and table tilt bits are not so good.you just have to be careful with it. the only real problems with it have been caused by rough and abusive use. with a solo user taking care it should be just fine. not a top quality tool but "Good enough for Canada eh?"
