No, they never responded to my inquiry so their loss, no wonder Australian business has such a bad reputation. I have a Minimax which is a wonderful BS but the tension adjustment is on the top and of the saw and my backside is too close to the ground so I find it hard to reach. For a taller person it would net be a problem so I am debating whether to sell it at the moment but it resaws so well I am reluctant to do that. What problems do the steel guides have, are they noisy? I have never heard of using steel TTTT only ceramic guides or roller bearings.

Thanks, SCM Group are a Minimax seller, not sure if the only one. They also did not respond to my contract form, but I rang them anyway. I did ask about a Minimax of similar size, erm about 3.5x the current cost of the Artisan hehe. The steel guides are noisy and can spark a lot, especially on a well worn 'club' bandsaw where the adjustment clamping has decayed (older style than photo). Sell the Minimax to me for a bargain price? ;)

Mine is the cheap one (SN45) but it sure does an excellent job. I was astonished at the current price when I was looking to be honest, I can't believe how much they have gone up but then the AUD is underwater and holding its breath.
