Hi there, great forum. Am looking at getting a SBW-4300 bandsaw and wondering if anyone else has one or has experience with one. Seems pretty good to me for the money ($1500) but interested in other comments.

Cheers

Jacklim,

They do seem pretty good for the price. I have recently bought a new bandsaw (Scheppach) and looked long and hard a quite a few, the SBW range was one of them. Personally i have not used the SBW but they do appear to be a good machine.

Ask them for a demonstration or if you can try it in the shop before you buy.

Regards
Stephen.

Ended up buying it and love it. Tracks well, powerful, large table with excellent fence, great cutting depth (12") and all for only $1500:D

Yikes...Just spotted this same SBW4300J at another retailer for $1350.00 on sale.

But you probably dont want to know that now :)
See my post about the "bargain bandsaw"... same place!
