I guess nobody wanted a large resaw capacity in a 10" saw. It was around for so many years, I thought it would still be marketed by someone. I didn't realize that this saw was no longer sold by any brand that is common here. Update: I apologize for not looking up things prior to posting. Life is interesting in a 12' x 12' basement shop! I have to move my table saw out from the wall, or bring my miter saw into the shop to use them, so the band saw is far more convenient. I actually use this machine a lot for trim cuts. You can do the nickel test on the table with the saw running. I had to balance the wheels when I bought it (actually, birthday present from my wife), and do the usual bandsaw tuning steps to set it up, but it has been rock solid ever since. Delta, Rikon, and Grizzly all sold bandsaws using this machine's casting (aluminum), so you may find it around in some incarnation still. I have the local saw sharpening shop make blades for this saw and the quality is much better than off the shelf blades. It uses 72 5/8" to 73" blades, but they are pretty easy to find. Unfortunately, they are no longer sold by Dremel. It has been a very good performer with 7" resaw capacity, 1/3 hp.
I have had a Dremel model 1100, 10", 2 wheel bandsaw for over ten years now.
