Horizontal Bandsaws
I was about to head off to H&F to buy a BS-4A horizontal bandsaw, but they tell me they are out of stock and won't have any until end of month. So I'm considering the BS-5S swivel head model. https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/B003
It appears to be similar to the BS-4A with the addition of a swivel head. It has a larger capacity (200mm width) and weights a little more. They say its made in Taiwan.
Any of you guys have one of these who can help me decide whether to buy it or wait for a BS-4A? Or can anyone offer any general comments on swivel vs fixed head horizontal bandsaws?
Edit: I found a thread on this forum from 2012 dealing with a similar question to mine. Some good reports about the BS-5S. It would still be good to get some more recent reports.
