A friend of mine was raving about his after weeks of waiting for any HF to stock one in a 30-mile radius. For limited space it seems like a workable alternative to a horizontal saw- after accepting any tradeoffs, of course.Saw the stand in person today. Wonder how square it cuts in the stand?
I like mine. Different color, but same one. It has kept me from buying a larger one. You will enjoy using it.I’ve been thinking about band saw options for a long time. I need a way to cut stock that’s not by hand. I had one of the cheapish ubiquitous 4 1/2 universal band saws a few years ago, but the floor space it took up was too much for my small workshop.
So I bought this:
It’ll fit on a shelf when not in use and not take up the space on the floor. As luck would have it, the day I finally decided to pull the trigger, the company had a discount of £120 on it!
Despite it being physically smaller than the common 4.5 inch universal band saws, it has a larger 5 inch capacity.

And easy to store away when not needed.
And you can easily make a table for it...

Ah...I ordered a really cheap bandsaw off AliExpress and it's due to be delivered probably next week but now I've seen this, I've literally just gone to Warco's site and ordered from one from them. This Warco jobbie is only about £70 more and has a bigger capacity.I’ve been thinking about band saw options for a long time. I need a way to cut stock that’s not by hand.
