    While it is fairly new, that is still 2/3 of the original cost for a power tool where you would be the third owner. They may want to knock $500 off the price to get it to move but who knows.

    Bandsaw BP-360 - Hafco - north west Sydney

    I'm getting rid of my bandsaw on ebay to make room for some other toys.

    It needs new guides and a new blade wouldn't hurt either, but otherwise works fine.

    Hi Barri,

    I also own a BP-310, or it may be the BP-360 I can't remember exactly off the top of my head. Adjusting the bearings is one of the worst aspects of the saw. They are difficult to...

    When using a brace it can help to clamp a bit of scrap wood on top that you drill through first and this holds the auger bit nice and steady as it goes through the work piece. Might also be worth...

    It appears that the damage is only confined to the sapwood, so you could still make something nice from the heartwood although it would need to be rather thin.

    Close enough and almost certainly made in the same factory in China. I have the Hafco BP-360 and it is tolerable but lacks power and I have lots of trouble getting the blades to run smoothly and not...

    Cheers Jarrod

    Woops I eventually worked out what I was doing wrong. I had tightened the belt between the motor and the wheel as much as the manual had suggested but not as much as was required.

    I have the BP360. It lacks any power whatsoever, it takes about 1 minute to rip 5 cm of 2 by 4. It is so bad I am thinking the motor might be a dud on the one I got, so it would be good to see what...
