So I’m looking at getting a bandsaw. Primarily to be used for re-sawing, veneers etc. Don’t think I will be cutting many reindeers. Getting second hand i.e. Startrites are few and far between. Most second hand of smaller capacity and the lower end of quality (brands).
Based on that I figure that 200mm height should be adequate.
Budget is difficult as I live in Norway, but to give a comparison the Record BS350 is roughly the same price as the Ax At2552B. Other alternatives are Jet/Laguna (pricey), Holzmann & Schepach (no experience with either brands).
Is the difference between the BS350 Sabre and BS350/300 worth it? I read a previous post on the change in bearings.
How does AxM bandsaw rate against Record? I have the AC216TS, and quality control is lacking.
