That new Craftsman looks very familiar lol. I swear they all come from the same factory. Only difference is see are door latches and the motor power rating.
the older 10 inch Craftsman tilting bandsaw has peaked my interest , i see them used for under 150 in mint condition , but this Kobalt is also very nice
Because the blade is so thin, its going to be hard to rip anything on a 9" bandsaw. For dimensional lumber, you are better off ripping with a tablesaw.@Anthony979
