    Default BAS 350 clone

    Hi All,
    Looking at buying a BAS-350 clone from a local supplier. Its priced at $600 so I suppose that i reasonable. I have searched the forums for all opinions on this bandsaw and there are good and bad comments.
    I'm hoping for a definitive statement from owners on exactly what they think. Especially about the blade ension. Scattered through all the threads were a few comments about the tubular steel construction limiting blade tension.
    It would be great to get all opinions in the one thread.
    Cheers and thanks
    Jock

    I have absolutely no problem with the BAS-350 I bought from Carba-tec in Perth!

    Very satisfied with mine. Just make sure that you also purchase a selection of blades. I found that after I was able to select the right blade for the job my satisfaction increased.

If he gets it without working for it; he's a parasite; and if he accumulates it after a life time of hard work, people call him a fool who never got anything out of life."
