Title: Bandsaw
Post by: Guyfawkes on October 28, 2020, 08:54:46 AM

Morning everyone,

I am a new member. Many thanks for letting me join. I am starting to do refurbs and repairs with a long term goal of making my own bats. I would like to be able to do rehandles and have been looking at bandsaws. What sort of size do people recommend getting as a starter saw?
Many thanks

Welcome mate. My advice would be to get the best you can afford and get a good blade. They can be a bit fiddly to set up and the jigs a headache too, but once set up are generally fine.

Depends how much you'll use it I suppose, as if you're planning on doing a fair bit you'll see a return fairly quickly I suppose.
