Bandsaw

[jack55]

Hi, I'm going to purchase my first bandsaw and would appreciate any advice. At the moment the two favourites would appear to be Bastato 4 or Record BS350xi. Looking to spend around £600 and want it for basic furniture making, cutting boards etc I don't do any turning.

Any advice is welcome.

Jack, search for the bandsaws on the forum as a number of members have these machines.

What about this one at £604 inc vat

I'm with oryxdesign, the Axminster SBW 5300 would be the one for me.
I have the Basato 3 and while it's OK I would like more power, higher blade speed, better cutting depth, and better blade guides.
