its more about the power of the machine, selecting the right blade and ensuring its set up properly.
you want a machine with a bit og power to it. I selected mine based on a few reviews and seeing what it could cut and what thickness. plenty of youtube videos and reviews around

off the top of your head how much hp does your bandsaw have if you can remember
-
2 I think. I did have one that was around 1.5 and that was ok.

That'll do the job mate, imo it's all about the blade. Anything around 1HP would be fine, just make sure you have around 200/300 clearance so you have room for the cleft and jig.
