Should I purchase a bandsaw?

What type (brand/model) of bandsaw should I purchase for weekend hobby woodwork?

Where would you recommend I purchase it, and how much should I be prepaired to pay?

Would you purchase a bandsaw before a pedestal drill?

-Yes


-I am sure if Triton had one it would be included in your list of recent purchases http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/wink.gif But- Depends on your budget.


-Again Depends on budget. You may wish to look towards Carba-tec as they sell lower budget saws. Otherwise - Gabbett machinery, Advantec machinery etc etc theres heaps of places that sell em. Others will add to the list.


-I would, but I didn't http://ubb.ubeaut.com.au/ubb/confused.gif

HTH
Cheers!

Pedestal drill or bandsaw??????
I use both with such regularity that I would have trouble deciding which I would forsake first, fortunately I have two of each!
As for the bandsaw, what you need is a record three wheeler, a wonderful little unit and does not break blades like everyone says they do, now, let me think, where do you get one, I know, I have one that I am not using, good price too....
I only use the big one now but it does work well.
This was not a plug for my saw...
Melbourne Trading Post would be an option for a second hand unit, got my biggy from there and it's as good as gold, but know what you are looking for and be prepared to haggle.
