Bandsaw review?

Jul 11, 2003 1 Replies

Does anyone have any first-hand opinion of the Perform CCBB bandsaw sold by Axminster in the UK? LOML is offering to buy me one for my birthday :-) If it's not worth the money, does anyone have any recommendations for around 200-250 GBP?



TIA Mark



PS Does CCBB stand for Cheap Chinese Big Bandsaw?


Don't know about that but I have one of these and it seems OK, it is my first bandsaw so I have no other experience. The blade guidesand bearings do seem to be a bit of a fiddle to set up and the instructions are little help. It does have a two speed facility I discovered when I saw it in a dealer's advert as a two speed bandsaw, nothing in the instructions about that either. It's cheap-ish and OK as a hobby machine.
