First off, thanks for letting me join the forum.
I'm looking for a new quality bandsaw. Price range £1500-2000.
I had my eye on the Harvey 616E, but they seem to not be available any more. So I've been looking at Hammer N3800, Jet JWBS15M, Axminster Trade AT3327B. I'm sure there are other saws I should consider too. To me all the saws look very similar. Hammer is a respected brand, but it sucks that the saw doesn't have a quick release tension arm. The Axminster saw looks like a generic China made saw, that doesn't bother me if the QC is good. The Jet is the most expensive and I've always felt that Jet is kinda overpriced.. Any thoughts on these or similar saws?
