RHR Bandsaws - any experience or comments?

[steck]

Hi, Does anyone know anything about RHR bandsaws?
I was unable to find anything out on Google.
Are they a new brand? I am in the market so I am interested in any comments on this or any other brands!

Thanks Eddie,
Thats them! But are they any good, I wonder? How did you track them down?

Google is your friend, Steck.

They look to be a generic Chinese clone - In my experience they're generally lower quality but I've never come across them. I use a Hammer saw, made in italy - it's a good machine but about $2200 plus GST.

Steck,

They seem to be Chinese clones similar to those available from Hare and Forbes. Look at pages 2, 3 and 4 of the H & F woodworking catalogue at http://www.hareandforbes.com.au/
For comments, do a search on this forum for BP-16A and BP300, both of which seem to be regarded as good value for money. I notice there are now two new models, the BP-352 and BP-355 intermediate between those two.
