Hi All

I've had the record bs 300 bandsaw for nearly 20 years. I've replaced the drive belt and that's it. I would highly recommend Record. Their service backup is good too. I've never owned Charnwood kit so cannot comment on them.
 
I have a Record Band Saw, can't remember what model it is without going down to the cabin but it is a floor standing one so not the smallest and it really isn't the best, I sure there are a lot better out there.

I have neither but is there a clue as to their ancestry in the model numbers?
 
I bought a Charnwood W730 second hand about 8 years ago, how old it was by then, I've no idea, and the only thing wrong was guide bearings needed changing (twice) and new blades fitted when required.
