About this deal

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. 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 Scheppach 240V Basa 1 is a simple model that boasts a solid cast iron table that is tiltable to 45 degrees. From the offset you can tell this is going to be a very good machine for small DIY tasks. Featuring a 1.5hp(1100W) induction motor, this band saw has a cutting capacity of 9 inches(230mm) and a throat width of 14 inches(345mm), making it the largest and most competent band saw reviewed in this article. But, just like everything in life, all good things come at a price, right?

It comes equipped with plastic blade guards for safe storage and transport wheels, adding to its portability. The Record Power Company has designed this woodworking machine to offer those with limited space a real bandsaw with excellent cutting power. The Record Power BS250 benchtop band saw features a cast iron table, strong steel frames, dynamically balanced band wheels and a powerful 1/3 hpinduction motor. It is designed to offer the user a serious machine with the high stability that is normally found only on much larger models. One thing to mention is that is not portable because it does weigh a lot, maybe just over 30kg, so not the type of machine you can easily move around. The throat is the distance from the band saw blade to the vertical frame section of the saw. This distance determines the width of the cut that can be made. Most band saws have a throat capacity from 8″ to 12″ and sometimes higher. Some bandsaw brands use the term “cutting width” instead of “throat capacity”. BladesIt does have anoptional wheel stand kit that is available separately, the machine can be bench mounted to the optional stand, hence providing great flexibility and perfect if you need to move it regularly. It can also have rubber feet as well as wheels. The blade of a bandsaw is connected to a band, which is mounted on wheels that allow it to pass through a workpiece. For the jigsaw, the blade is attached on the top of the tool and the bottom is free, which is why it’s a reciprocating saw. Those who are willing to get the floor standing models need to ensure that it has wheels if you want to move them around regularly. Wheels enable the user to move the unit from place to place as needed. There are units that come with carrying cases for the smaller units. These cases provide effective storage for when the unit is not in use.

The scroll saw is perfect for making intricate cuts such as caricature carvings. You can easily control the speed of a scroll saw by pressing on a pedal. When used on a tabletop, you’ll also be able to rotate it, allowing you to achieve precisely detailed finishes. The bandsaw is heavy, large and bulky, and nearly all models are immobile. On the other hand, the jigsaw is small and portable and can be handheld.This specific model comes equipped with a high quality British made blade (2560mm) that will deliver some outstanding cutting results. The size of the motor will affect the band saw’s performance and its ability to handle heavier applications. The best band saws for woodworking and hobby usage will be rated around 250 – 375 Watts. Professional band saws will feature motors rated over 500 Watts. Frame It does have a few shortcomings, though. One is that the dust extraction outlet tends to come off under heavy loads. Vibrations are another thing as the bed isn’t that solid. Specifications
