   I'm waiting for it, there is also supposed to be a new 16". I wrote to Jet but didn't get any response.

   When I was over at DSC the other day, I asked about the new Jet bandsaws and they've sold every one they've gotten in.  Evidently, the design of the upper part is different, and has yielded a rock-steady saw -- the lack of vibration was remarkable according to the guys there.  Since they're sold out, I've not seen one yet.  Maybe next time.  Sounded well worth waiting for.forestgirl -- you can take the girl out of the forest, but you can't take the forest out of the girl   ;-)

   Stopped into the local (Pittsburgh) Woodcraft and asked about it. They didn't know it was yet available, but computer did show it in stock. Said price would be $1,825. I mentioned I had heard on discussion groups that it would be around $1,600; he repeated, $1,825.

   Did confirm the upper wheel assembly has been redesigned, and it runs smoother and quieter than the 18" model.

   Best, Ted
