Does anyone have any experiences with the blades that Scheppach themselves are selling on their website? Are they good quality? https://shop.scheppach.com/search?q=band+saw+blade @Smike - I hardly used the bandsaw, so far (I've only been working on trying to get it to run straight). And it...

Thanks a lot for the replies! @Ttrees - Shims, that is a good idea! @Ollie78 - I followed the Alex Snodgrass-instructions on the youtube video which states that the deepest part of the gullet of the blade should be in the center of the wheel. With the 'tracking of the upper wheel' you mean the...

I can't seem to get the bandsaw set-up right. I did all the things that were suggested in the Alex Snodgrass-video. I also checked and adjusted the table angle as suggested by @Smike . It seems to be less "wobbly" when cutting, but it still "runs away", or rather, towards the fence. And quite a...

Thanks a lot, @Ollie78 , I'm going to check them both out!

Yes, it was Tuffsaws, thanks; @Ollie78 . I was a bit disappointed, as well, to learn that he did not ship to the EU, since he is deemed very trustworthy on delivering good quality goods by many on this forum. And I have no idea how to spot a good quality saw from a bad quality one. E.g. When it...

Thanks for the advice on the fence alignment, @Farm Labourer ! I'm going to pay more attention to that, when fine tuning. @Ollie78 - Thank you for the additional information on the saws. I was looking to purchase a couple from the UK supplier (Ian, I believe his name is) that was recommended by...

Thanks a lot for all the replies, really appreciated. Here is what I did: I loosened the screw for the mounting of the block. Against my better judgement I tried to put it at an angle, but that did not work (for obvious reasons, which I described earlier, above). Then I fastened the crew again...

Thanks a lot for the replies. @Spectric - I can move it back and forward, but not side to side, as far as I can tell. @Farm Labourer - I would really like to know how you did the adjusting. The "bearing"/disc is in a cylindrical piece of copper, and that I can adjust forward and backwards, by...

Hi, The Scheppach Basa 3 that I ordered has arrived. I have put it together and am in the process of "fine tuning" it. (I have to say, the instruction manual is really not very clear). (Therefor,) I have a couple of questions: 1) In the manual, the counter pressure bearings (which are no real...

Hello Ttrees, No height restrictions (and I have a 230V system). I have been looking for 2nd hand options and found several, including 3 phase band saws, although none close by (usually a several hours' one way drive away). However, I have no idea what I am looking at, most of the times...

Good points, that makes sense.

One of the suppliers that I contacted told me that the only difference between the model Basato 3 and the model BASA3 is that the former was made in Europe and the latter in China...no quality differences (but then again, he would say that, wouldn't he? Being a supplier...). (I wonder what the...

I heard someone mention recent price increases for the Scheppach BASA3, as well. I wonder why that is..I mean, there are no chips in there, which (i.e. the shortage thereof), as I understand, is one of the reasons why e.g. less cars are produced and prices are going up... What did you pay for...

Hi Steve, which one did you end up with?

Thank you for the replies. Does anyone know if the quality is still the same, between the older model made in Europe and the newer model made in the far East? The price on their website is €599, is that about the same as the previous Basato 3 model? (Price change might be an indication of...

Hi all, I'm looking to buy a bandsaw, and came a cross several interesting threads mentioning - amongst others - Scheppach, on this forum. I'm a bit confused about the differences between a Scheppach BASA3 vs Scheppach Basato 3V (and I saw even a mentioning of Scheppach BASA 3.0, supposedly...
