Timbecon TBB-14 vs H&F BP16a?
I've been visiting the Canberra WWS today. I was hoping H&F would be there so I could compare these two BS's. but they weren't. So I had a good go-over of the TBB14 and it looks OK to me - but I haven't used one for years and only had a little Inca before and did no resawing etc.
The TBB is a 2hp, 235mm depth, full steep version with tension reliever, 2 speed, 4" duster, rack and pinion riser and table angle, and generally looks pretty good. Since I haven't seen a BP16a, can anyone make any comparisons with these two? I'm hoping to get a good deal from Timbecon on a TSC10HB + ML392 + TBB, but if the BP16a is better then I'll wait and get that from H&F. They're about the same price I believe.
Thanks!
Robert

Hi Robert, You are looking at two different machines the BP16a is a 16" saw not a 14" the simlar machine at H&R is only $730 a price difference of $150, a lot of people on here have the BP16a and are more than happy with them,you would want a lot of discount from Timecon to go anywhere near getting a 16" from them...........Peter

Hi Peter,

I got a deal on the TBB at the show with magnetic worklight and new blade + show price so I'm pretty happy (I think - can't tell until I unpack it all when I move house in 4-5 weeks
).
Regards
Robert
