Einhell bandsaw review
So was at bunnings the other week and saw this bandsaw near the trade desk that looked a little different than the usual 8 inch jobs the have in the tool section. I take a closer look and I find it is the einhell bp305 bandsaw.
Best part is it was on clearance for $150. Which I thought would be a good opportunity to upgrade from the handheld tools I currently have.
So out of the box here are the pros and cons
Pros:
Cheap
Large table
Good height capacity at 175mm
1hp motor
Decent fence setup
Cons:
Crappy standard blade
No stand in the box
Table does not allow use of inserts
Poor fitting mitre gauge for t slots
So after putting things together I had a bandsaw that struggled to cut straight and I thought I had made a bad choice.
After replacing the blade with a new on from hare and forbes along with shiming the table and fence for squareness it now works wonderfully an will cut straight and true every time. I've also built a stand to give it a more permanent home in the shop.
After all this my only real complaint is a very slight out of flatness on the table where the blade slot

Looks like you got a bargain.
Those were the droids I was looking for.
