Hi - I am looking to buy my first bandsaw and would appreciate some advice.
As I am short of space, it will have to double up as a rip saw as well as doing the usual band-saw things. (I already have a De Walt crosscut.)
I had more or less decided on an EB BAS316 when the Basato 3 appeared.
Does anyone have views on the Basato? Is it a genuine 'little brother' of the Basato 5 and built to that standard, which I understand is very good (except I have seen that they are sometimes dropped on delivery!)?
The usual price for the Basato 3 plus mitre fence is about £50 more than the BAS316- is the Basato worth the extra?
Many thanks in anticipation - RoyS
