This is a very well specified and finished machine.
The most noticeable feature is the size of the table. An extension to the left-hand side neatly fills the gap between the table and the frame, producing a decent sized working area and also allowing you to park the rip fence well out of the way. The table itself is heavy cast iron, polished to a fine surface finish, and contains left and right hand slots for the mitre guide. The two halves of the table either side of the blade slot are kept level with the usual strap arrangement, but on this machine you can change the blade easily without having to remove the rip fence...All this serious weight makes for a bandsaw that’s a very smooth machine to use, and the flywheel effect of those massive cast iron band wheels coupled to a powerful 1500 W motor means that the machine will happily cut through material near the maximum depth of 305 mm....This is a very well specified and finished machine producing a performance that belies its relatively modest price tag.
