High cut depth bandsaw

[Jmac80]

Hello all

Looking to get a bandsaw fairly soon, I was thinking of spending about £6-700, maybe up to a grand at a push.
Is it possible to get one in this price range (or cheaper) with a depth of cut of 12" or more?
Looking to mill up some green logs etc.

Thanks

You should be able to. http://www.axminster.co.uk/axminster-tr ... 0b-bandsaw is just over budget- I only did a quick search. Charnwood and fox may do one a bit cheaper.

I have a version of this axminster one I think. They have changed them around a bit and I am not sure if if is this one or the industrial one.

Pretty sure SIP make a similar one. Also looks like the prices have gone up, i'm sure that charnwood was under 1k last week.

Looks good thanks guys

How do these compare to the hammer n4400?

Speak to Peter sefton? i think he has the hammer

I was going to seriously look at the hammer and the startrite 352 but certainly at that time, the hammers were scare secondhand. I got the axi used at a good price and can't see myself wanting or needing to upgrade. The startrites were fetching a lot of money secondhand, but again with those and the hammers, nobody seems to want to upgrade for anything else. If I was to buy again, any of those 3 would leave me happy.
