I am in the process of loving into a workshop...complete with bench....and lights....and 3 phase! I have access to an enormous panel saw that is frequently used for chopping fire wood (!) and a dewalt lunchbox thingy...I'm not sure whether it is a p/t or just a thicknesser.
I have been given a rather manky Black and Decker bandsaw. It is a 3 wheeler and needs a new blade and quite possibly given it's state, new everything else as well.
I have been offered another bandsaw, an Electra Bektum. It's nearly 6' on it's stand and despite an ali table, damned heavy. He wants £100 for it. Do I want it?!
I'm a little skint at the moment but could find the money...
I have never used one before and truth be told, I'm not that sure what they are for! I know I can cut tenon cheeks on them, like I can with a tenon saw. I know I can cut curves with them...like I can with a jigsaw...presumably I can resaw with it too to an extent...which I can't do with a handsaw....but how much I have no idea.
