Hi

Thanks for all your responses so far, this forum has a fantastic community.

I will need purchase a band saw for my workshop I am getting mixed messages on what specification to buy. I am not planning on splitting any large pieces of timber just tops and backs and the neck as far as I can see. (150mm depth max)

What kind of performance - specification should I be looking at ? - It will have to be single phase

John

I dont know much about bandsaws but can tell you thats a very open ended question. What is your budget? That would narrow it down a bit. I have to buy a saw soon and will be getting a Laguna, however if I was in the states and could get a Grizzly that is the route I would probably go. But there is just so many options its staggering.

Why would you get a Grizzly over a Laguna? Price? Bigger saw for the $$? To the OP, your question is indeed open ended. I think the very first thing you need to state is your budget. How much will you spend?

BTY, Bing.com is offering 14% cashback on Ebay, meaning you can save money on Grizzly. Also, I think Grizzly is doing free shipping.

John, you mentioned need a transformer for the PC 310 in a other thread. I'm guessing here mind you, but I don't think you are residing in North America.

I like the Grizzly band saws and table saws. One of these days, I will get their 24"er. ;)
