Pledge: Bandsaw

The old bandsaw has been chewing up it's old guard and may be dangerous. Let's get a more serious one.

The Item

• Suggested model.
  • That looks like a decent bit of kit. It may well be more useful than the current one but don't think of it as a replacement - despite the similar name, they're intended for quite different jobs. A vertical bandsaw is like a heavy duty fretsaw, and used mainly for wood. A decent one fitted with a fine blade will also cope with sheet metal. A horizontal bandsaw is a faster replacement for the power hacksaw, or donkey saw - it's intended for cutting metal bars. The chinese ones are ubiquitous but generally intended for fairly light use - however people have investigated their failings and got good use out of them. See some useful repair links.
