    Default Bandsaws.

    Hi MFU,
    If you are going to make very small items, well yes, but otherwise it is a bit of a toy.
    It would use a very thin blade, as it has to get around those small wheels.

    I think you could maybe find a 14in. B/Saw, here on the Forums, $200 / 280, should buy one, in good nick.

    If you want to spend a bit more, an 18in / 460mm. would be the go.
    I know very little about these bigger Saws.

    I have had the 14in. / 360mm for many years now & it had never missed a beat.

    I mainly use Hakasson Blade, 3/8in x 6TPI Skip Tooth x 2375mm Long.
    Regards,
    issatree.
