I just sold mine in the For Sale forum. I also advertised my Hobby lathe.
The old Hobby series bandsaw is IMHO a better product than the new Craft ones. Previously there were four Hobby machines, something like 8”, 10”, 12” and 14” wheels. In the old range only the entry model had ceramic thrust supports and the better models had decent bearings. Now all the Craft ones offer ceramic thrust. To get one with decent roller bearings requires a big hike in price to their Trade range. Not surprisingly all the Trade and Jet models have decent bearings. Of course you can upgrade a machine (some fettling) Axminster offer an upgrade kit from £40-£70. The kits are from the old Hobby range! I’m not sure if the change to the pressed steel case was a positive move as it looks very fragile to me. The trouble with power and HP is that you have lots of choice when picking a number e.g. S1 thru’ S8. IMHO this gives flexibility to the marketing types who like to promote bigger numbers. If the new motor had more HP than the old one, then it ought to be a bit bigger too? I don’t get the impression that the new ones are anything other than a cost reduction - I could be wrong. At least one of the entry Trade machines have 750W on website but only 550W on label 3/4 HP. My Hobby bandsaw was sold with invoice and transferable warranty - not hard to do e.g. either look back at purchase history or ring store for a copy of the receipt. IMHO no receipt is not a good start. Keep your £50 for beer fund not for a handkerchief.
