A little water should do the trick!

Northern Industrial

I have a band saw that cuts, it just doesn't cut exactly straight so I want a new one.
I just need a basic band saw but I liked that this model had an easy swivel base to it so I figured I would spend a little more.

So if this is a chinese band saw that many people slap there name on, am I just paying for "the company name" like Grizzly so I know they will stand behind it?

We have a Grizzly band saw, although it's a wood cutting one. We have had it for a long time and it still works good.
I believe that Grizzly actually has pretty cheap prices for the machine, compared to the other more expensive brands. I would say if you bought something much less expensive than Grizzly, you may not get the best product. Can't say for sure though.

I would also get it straight from Grizzly because it's the same price, and you know you're getting the right thing; with the right stuff.

Northern Industrial is the only one I have really heard much about.
