owner hasnt responded in days... timbecon have a 15% off weekend - think i will just go get their 14 inch plus model. if i outgrow it i will prob end up buying new and getting a 3 phase or 15 amp circuit fitted - its just too much hassle dealing with these idiots on gumtree!

I happen to be in the market for a bandsaw... went to Carbatec to get my supplies yesterday and had a look at Laguna's both 14 and 18. Cant believe my eyes when I saw the price tag for a 18bx. $5400 NZD for a hobbyist saw. you pay a little more (between $1-$2k NZD) and get a true industrial bandsaw made by ACM rebadged as SCM (S440P).
SCM L'Invincibile si X, SCM L'Invincibile S7, SCM TI 145EP, SCM Sandya Win 630, Masterwood OMB1V, Meber 600, Delta RJ42, Nederman S750, Chicago Pneumatics CPRS10500, Ceccato CDX12

ok - having issues.
cant find anything reasonably priced 2nd hand that i can get home.
3 realistic choices:
1 - timbecon std 14 inch bandsaw
https://www.timbecon.com.au/sherwood...andard-bandsaw - 1149 - may well fit in the boot so no delivery fee (HF/carbatec do a clone)
2 - timbecon 14 inch plus
https://www.timbecon.com.au/sherwood-14in-plus-bandsaw - 1699 - will need to pay delivery plus tailgate - best part of 200 bucks
3 - HF BP-355
W4224 - BP-355 Wood Band Saw | Hare & Forbes Machineryhouse currently 1419 - reckon i can get it into the boot in 2 parts.
personally i like the look of the 14 plus, and it has the best resaw and cast iron wheels. but getting it home or accepting a delivery is turning into a pallava....
i am a bit short on manpower to move stuff around, but can perhaps get 1 guy to help with a trailer if the timbecon one is clearly the best of the bunch???

Since you have space for a floor standing machine, then anything up to 20"/500mm wheels will likely be as easy to move.
I had a 20" machine bought at a show, (which went back to the shop)
It was a reasonable 200kgs, but in a plywood box.
The shop owner just put a sack barrow under one end which I was to find out was the column (spine) side.
He wheeled it over to the trailer on a very bad yard with incline, and I was erratically running ether side of him incase it might have tipped over.
I cannot remember if the table was also in the box.
Just saying incase you see something local used pop up.
Take the table off and tilt it down on the column...
If you're not very tall, and the machine is, then get a thick post and put this under the guidepost end of the base
(Hefty fencepost is also very nice to have for getting hands and clearance for possible switch cables underneath)
This s a 600mm Italian machine, which is a lot larger than a 500mm far Eastern compact machine I had.
Note the block under the front, not very chunky and I'm not very tall, so was made more difficult, coulda been three times as thick, last time I tipped over the saw was at me folks shed with a sloping floor so was able to reach the top easier for leverage.
Note that there is no mad weight to the machine when tilting, only when beyond 45, and then a moderate amount,
unless deadlifting the machine whilst lying down.
I could sling that 500mm machine about now after getting used to how to do it,
Basically dismantle table, chok the guide end of base, tilt the column down onto whatever its going in/on.
Bring some tools for dismantling
Fence post or what have you, some cardboard, carpet, or old jackets, and a dolly or two if it needs to be moved horizontally.
Some pipe might be utilized whilst vertical, should you be thinking of painting, if not it will chip.
Checking for coplanar .jpgScreenshot-2022-2-26 Lugging a large bandsaw about.jpg
Good luck with whatever ya get

hi all - its bandsaw month at timbecon - so i am finally eyeing off the 14 inch plus model - its $1550 though
does anyone know anything about thearbatec BAS350-B Bandsaw
looks like their current 14 incher - we have one come up 2nd hand for 750 - probably get it a bit cheaper - with blades etc - is it worth getting or would i just be disappointed?

I own a BAS350B, I bought mine second hand for 450 (mine might be older than the model your looking at) with only a blade and the fence and stand it came with. Since then I’ve bought a magnetic base LED light, mobile base, cleaned up the table and a few blades and it’s rock solid I think it’s great
I just use it for rough cuts and curves etc as I primarily work with hand tools. I have the 20mm resale carbatech blade on it at the moment and whilst I haven’t actually tried cutting veneers it has performed great with every hardwood I’ve thrown at it
If the price is negotiable I’d recommend getting one
Cheers
Nathan
