May seem a strange question but how light/heavy are the Inca bandsaws? I do very little with the bandsaw (I'm virtually all hand tool) and instead of buying another dust extractor I thought I could use a table top style and carry the thing into the garden on a nice day (like today!). I can't do that with my present saw, a 14" saw is a lot to carry down two flights of stairs. Two days on the bandsaw will easily do all I need for the year ahead. 90% of the cutting is 15 mm (and under) hardwood, including Oak. The cuts need to be accurate with drift of no more than 0.4 mm's. I can do better with my 14" saw and a very fine blade. Rare but sometimes I need to cut 2 " softwood but only a few running metres.
I suppose the alternative is one of the newer 9 / 10" models but I have no experience of those. At one time I had a Burgess but it's so long ago I can't remember much about it. That saw very little use too.
