As an occasional hobbyist doing mainly light ripping and shaping of of 1" thick hardwood I have decided to buy a budget benchtop bandsaw around £100-150. Spent ages trawling the net for reviews but going in circles. Read your topic on what everyone on here has but they all seem to be bigger and more expensive than I need.
Shortlist so far is Charnwood 8" W711, or 10" W715
SIP 10" 10484,
which I have looked at on Ebay and other sites. Can anyone add any comments about these or any other better ones for similar price please. Other names I have found on Ebay are Rexon, Sealy, Perform, Draper, Delta.
Slightly more expensive are the Metabo Bas 260 swift and Elektra Bekum is it worth paying the extra for what I need?
Thanks
