Band saw recommendation

[Sicklid]

What is your favorite band saw for cutting corals?
About to buy DB-100 from Inland Craft but not sure if I can find something else @ lowes or home depot?
Any recommendations
Thanks

Most shops, coral farms and serious hobbyist use the Gryphon saw.

Yes that’s what I got, but if you can grab the larger model it has a significant size difference when cutting. Wish I would had spent the extra $100 well worth it.

Get the Gryphon XL, don't waste your money on the inland. I had one before and once I switched to Gryphon I never looked back.

Question, what are the specifics beside the size that make the Gryphon the saw of choice for corals. Is it the blade? Or is it plastic construction? I don’t know but would like any thoughts.

Best thing is motor is on top and can’t get wet, built more durable, which outweighs the drainage the only thing I like on the inland. oh and price. But you get what you pay for. When I got in the hobby I went threw 3 Inland’s and went the Gryphon route and never purchase another one

Agree, I have had the Gryphon for a few years only because that’s what most people had success with. Learn from demonstrated success… but never stopped to ask why until this post. Thanks! 🙏

@mannyhernz has a gryphon XL.

Really good condition. XL is kind of rare. Wholesalers and shops usually use that model.

The bearings on the Inland are not sealed, which is a real problem around saltwater. They will fail, its just a matter of time.

Just got my Gryphon back from them today. I sent it in for maintenance as they only charge for parts and shipping (around $20 UPS ground). They're in Sylmar. Can't say enough about their customer service - Matt is the best
