Howdy, first post so be kind, found this site when searching the web.
I have about £350 to spend on a bandsaw
It I'll be used for marine ply, pine and mdf up to 25mm thick. It will also need to cut up to 4-6mm aluminium. I will be cutting straights and curves
Looking on the web there is loads of makes to choose from, axminster, fox, record, sip, etc etc. this choice is very confusing
From what I can gleen looking at web sites it needs to have the following:
Cast table
Decent guides
Decent 1hp motor
Min 12" throat
Pref quick release for the blade as will be changing between wood and metal blades
2 speed
Can anyone help to find a machine that fits the bill.
What makes should I avoid
Thanks in advance for your help
