Thread: ryobi

Hi Brooke, I have one in the shed that you can have as well, no tyres, little work, these bandsaws were a bugger when they were first released onto an unsuspecting market and they are a bugger now, they break blades at a phenomenal rate, I used to get maybe one decent toy cut out with it then had to go and get another blade, (@ $20 odd dollars a shot) the three wheeled model was very quickly superseded by the two wheel model which I believe is a much better machine, my advice, leave it where it is and go buy a two wheeled one!

thanks dave will get rid of it
whats a good cheap one for hobby work not too big

thanks con

there are quite a few on the market now, a lot of "imports" are reasonable for light work and are identical to Ryobi, just do a little research and get the biggest bang for your buck, look for wattage (power) throat size, and availability of blades

I dont know what your budget is but this one is a pretty good Representative of what I'm saying....... https://www.machineryhouse.com.au/Pr...stockCode=W417 there are cheaper ones about but the quality may not be there, sometimes the initial purchase pain is quickly forgotten after use, this one sells at around $250 plus freight
