Woodfast HB350 bandsaw resaw sawmill
I spotted a mention of this little resaw mill in one of the woodworking mags, it was featured in one of the woodworking shows recently and while it only will cut a max. of 1.5M length and 400mm width it still looks like a handy gadget for the people that have access to some of the more unusual timbers.
Beyond Tools seem to be the importers but they are pretty light-on with details on the machine. There is a 2.4m length capacity machine in the pipeline but that may be a bit large for most home workshop people.
The problem I see is that while the blade is 26mm wide the bandwheels are listed as just 225mm diam. Which is odd because they list cutting capacity height of 300mm and depth of 340mm but a 26mm wide blade on even a 350mm bandwheel seems like there may be a problem with longevity?
Are there any bandsaw resaw people out there who can give some advice please?
