Makita LB1200F bandsaw

[Einari Rystykaemmen]

Hi,

I'm about to purchase relatively small bandsaw to my shop. I do not have much experience with different brands and models of bandsaws.

I'm looking for pretty good quality with reasonable price (I know, impossible equation... :lol: )

When searching information around the net, I found following saw which looks promising.

Does anybody have any experience with this saw? My reseller does not have it in stock until May, so I can't check it out myself until then.

Thanks in advance.

Cheers!

Hi!

This saw seems to be quite similar to the old Metabo Magnum BS 0633 with regard to blade length, depth of cut, wattage etc.

No idea how the second hand market is in Finland, but in Germany you can get the 0633 from Eur 200. Maybe worth an attempt?
