gjdale Posted May 14, 2017 #2 Posted May 14, 2017 Hi Eddie, I have the Carbatec 10" Bandsaw. It's okay for what it is, but it is quite limited in terms of the blade options available. For example, you won't be able to any re-sawing (I think that's the correct term) with it. If I were buying again, I'd save my shekels and go for the Laguna 14" SUV Bandsaw. Regardless of which bandsaw you buy, you should check out this YouTube clip of how to set up a bandsaw properly: Eddie, Mumin, Canute and 2 others 5 Grant ____________________________________________________ Current builds: African Queen - Radio Control / Live Steam Previous builds: The Shipyard at Foss' Landing (Diorama), Hannah - Ship in a Bottle, NRG Capstan Project, 1869 Allerton Steam Pumper, Medway Longboat , Alfa Romeo Spider Gran Touring (Pocher) , Da Vinci Flying Machine, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout - Dumas - Radio, Bomb Vessel Granado, 1742 - Cross Section - Scratchbuild, HMS Victory (Mamoli 1:90), Cutty Sark, Armed Pinnace, Bounty, Santa Maria At another place: Stephenson's Rocket (OcCre 1:24) (click the title to follow the link) In the Gallery: Lancia Armata 1803, Bomb Vessel Granada, 1742 Cross Section, 1949 Chris Craft 19' Racing Runabout

gjdale Posted May 14, 2017 #4 Posted May 14, 2017 Probably a good decision Eddie - just make sure you check out what blades are available for the one you choose as that will be the determining factor in your re-saw capability.

Jaager Posted May 14, 2017 #5 Posted May 14, 2017 I will repeat: get as close to 2 HP as you can, for resawing. It really works the system - For high efficiency and fewer thickness sander passes, a Wood Slicer blade from Highland - getting a unit that uses one of their ready made sizes will save you about $10 a blade, and about 2-3 weeks waiting over custom length. The 10" would be OK for scroll cutting - poor choice for resawing. A generic 9" will scroll just as well for less. Just make sure any unit you consider takes a Carter Stabilizer if you want to cut tight curves. It costs near about want a 9" bandsaw costs, but it is worth it.

bluenose2 Posted May 14, 2017 #6 Posted May 14, 2017 Hello Les here. This looks like a very good unit. Beats my Delta for sure. At $469.00 dollars good value. This unit looks well built and should last a lifetime. If your not resawing large slabs of wood this unit will work out well. But best to ring them up and talk person to person mate. Here what they have to say. Canute and Eddie 2

Bob Blarney Posted May 21, 2017 #8 Posted May 21, 2017 great vid above. My daughter was given a 1.5" tall reindeer by Mr. Snodgrass at a demo (watching him cut it out while lecturing terrified me). As for the bandsaw size, I wouldn't go with anything smaller than a 12". I have both a 12" Craftsman (KIng Sealy) and a 14" Delta/Milwaukee with a riser block to resaw up to 12" depth, and I prefer to use the Delta almost everything. And if you missed it in another thread, here's a safe way to resaw wood: Eddie and Canute 2

Bob Blarney Posted May 26, 2017 #12 Posted May 26, 2017 Here's the tiny reindeer that Mr. Snodgrass cut during the live demonstration, and that he gave to my daughter. As mentioned above, I cringed as he cut it out while giving his spiel. Eddie 1
