Hi everyone, I have been registered here for a while now and I have to say that I love the forum. For the past few months I have been messing around in my little 6 X 8 ft shed (not big enough to call it a shop!!) for the past few months getting it kitted out so I can start some woodworking. I was looking for some advice on my next major purchase…. A bench top bandsaw.
Due to my location in the west of Ireland, my choice of bandsaw is limited and so is my budget!!. Locally I can get a Charnwood W711 8” for €150 or get the bigger W715 10” for €220. I haven’t any experience with Charnwood machines and I was wondering if anyone here has any experience of them?
Small second-hand machines are very hard to pick up over here and getting anything shipped from the UK is too expensive. So is the Charnwood the way to go?
