Considering its cheap price, I was impressed by its powerful 350W motor and the fact that you can still tilt its table to 45 degrees. For peace of mind all of our machines are produced to the highest standards & come with full CE Certification & a full 12 month warranty provided through your sales receipt. Horizontal bandsaw–As the name suggests the length of the blade is horizontally positioned with the teeth facing in the direction of the object being sawed. The saws depend on the weight of the blade holder to slice through varied materials. Because gravity applies the needed pressure, your energy can be conserved. The max cutting height is 6 inches (150mm) and its depth is 10 inches (250mm). Powered by a 375 W motor, it features two variable speeds of 400 and 800 m/min.

One of the first things you’ll notice about this band saw is the big motor. Compared with the Axminster Craft AC1400B, it’s got more power to play with. You get 350 Watts of cutting power from the belt-driven brushed motor stowed down below. This powers the 1572 mm long blade round at a fixed speed of 660 m/min. In the market, price should not be the only factor when you are looking for the best band saw for your workshop. You should consider what you expect to get from your equipment and think of its value rather than the price tag. The first thing you need to consider is what type of material you will be cutting most often. Usually, band saws are used for woodworking but you can always equip yours with a blade strong enough to cut metal. There are however a few other things to consider when looking for the best bandsaw for your needs. Power Band saws are useful and versatile pieces of equipment in the workshop that are great for making complicated cuts. They can cut deep sections, curved and straight lines, and even circles. They can also make precise rip cuts, cross cuts and angled cuts with ease.Weighs approximately 15 kgs, a height of 70cm and the table dimensions of this small bandsaw is 30cm x 30cm. It has one-hand setting control and its rigid fence system with a magnifying glass is used for precise settings. Also, it is a single-speed control machine and has balanced polished wheels with rubber facing. Technical Specifications The engineers at German brand Einhell have been busy making innovative tools since 1964. They’ve branched out into 18V equipment recently but are better known for their benchtop gear. The TC-SB 200/1 band sawis the brand’s benchtop saw that’s ideal if you don’t have the space for a free-standing one. It’s an easy-to-use, quiet, and incredibly versatile woodworking tool. Thanks to the oversize construction of this band saw it can cope with rather large workpieces. You can cut timber up to 135 mm in height and the maximum throat size of 260 mm is the widest on my list. Changing the blades is no big deal either. Thanks to Axminster positioning the blade release channel on the side of the table, you can swap blades without needing to remove the rip fence.

The table size is 54.5cm x 51.5cm and you get two variable motor speeds, making this machine capable enough to cut soft metal as well. The Scheppach 240V Basa 1 hobby bandsaw is the perfect choice for those users with smaller workshops who are looking for a quality machine that is a little better than the entry-level bandsaws on the market. It is a compact and powerful benchtop bandsaw offering many of the same design features found in the larger Basa professional machines we have seen in the past. The Basa 1 has good capacity features which can help you realise all your innovative ideas, whether your projects are model making or regular smaller joinery projects. We like that it still offers almost all design features found in the larger Basa models. For instance, it comes with top and bottom triple roller precision guides for improved accuracy and a rigid fence for precise setting.Another cool thing about this tool is that it’s not very messy when it comes to dust. Most of the sawdust goes into the lower section and is expelled out of the exhaust hole. You’ll get some sawdust on the table, however, not excessive. Let’s not forget that this tool is compact and light, so it will be suitable for a workshop with limited space. Technical Specifications Setup is relatively easy, although you might need to tinker with the blade guides before it will cut straight and true. Supplied with a steel stand, everything is solidly welded together and should be incredibly rigid and reliable. It comes equipped with plastic blade guards for safe storage and transport wheels, adding to its portability. The power comes from a 250 Watt motor, which is more than enough for a small machine like this. It whips the 1,400 mm long blade round at a lightning-fast 1,400 m/min, which makes it ideal for fine woodworking, straight cuts, or curves.
