    Thumbs up Whose a lucky boy then?

    Went to the WWWS in Brisbane over the weekend with the intentions of buying a new bandsaw, with the toss up being between the Hammer 4400 & Jet 18Q, with my leaning toward the Hammer becase of prior experience with Hammer/Felder products.

    Shows are good because you can flit between stands making comparisons. Came away with the Jet believing it had the edge.

    Unbeknown to me purchasing this machine put me in thedraw for a Jet Wet Stone Grinder, and I came up a winner, so how good is that.

    My thanks to Gregory Machinery for their assistance and in depth knowledge of the machines on offer, and thanks also for the generous 'prize' that was on offer
