Hi all - got a possible chance to get an elektra bekum 316g for £250
I’m after a starter bandsaw, probably just for rips in hardwood around an inch thick and maybe a bit of resawing.
I was looking at saving up for the RP sabre 250 (buying new) which would be around £430 without a stand I think. What’s the advice? I can’t find many reviews of the 316g and wonder how it would compare, given the money saving. Am I best off holding off for the RP machine, rather having quality over power because as I say, not going to be used for huge jobs.
Thanks I’m advance
