    Default Bandsaw Guidance

    Hi WWF,

    I currently have a Hafco BP-430 and am thinking of complementing it with something else due to the time it takes to swap out the blades.

    I want something future proof that will support my growing skills with this tool but not cost an arm and a leg. The Hafco brand seems reasonable however I am not sure if it is professionally enough to support me on my journey to the next level.

    I am also thinking I need to go up a size or two however open to guidance here.

    Thoughts please?

    My 2c worth about buying a bigger b/s;
    check how much space you have for a bigger unit
    decide on your budget upper limit
    look for some reviews on the web
    ask if members have models your considering

    I have a Timbecon 18" and I am very happy with it; especially since I made some new blade guides.
