Was looking to buy a new bandsaw and an Axminster AP5300T/2 came up on ebay. How would it compare to a Laguna 14BX? How does a braked motor work? Does it automatically stop when you turn it off? thanks

So which blade guides are best? Ceramic? Bearings? or just the round flat discs? I have the round flat discs on the Record BS300, they always seem loose at the end of the supporting shaft so if you squint and try to adjust them they are not square to the blade. So they either touch the blade...

The Laguna 18BX got sold in the end, which I'm glad in a way as I'd be buying blind due to the 250 miles distance between us both. So are any of the Axminster or JET bandsaw equivalent to a Laguna 14BX? There seems to a lot more second hand...but when I've had a look at them they seem inferior...

Can not find any in the wood cutting blades section?

I was looking at bandsaw blades online and keep hearing about Tuffsaws so I checked out their blades and a 115 inch size was not listed in any of their various blades Was possible in the custom size section...is this a problem?

thanks, he says it's hardly been used, but most say that. It would be bought unseen. If I'm not planning on doing resaws on giant pieces of timber is it worth the hassle? I'm think the 14bx would be ample using it for cutting guitar bodies, neck and fretboards?

If you were offered a brand new laguna 14bx for £1800 or a used 18bx for £1750 which would you buy?

I've been offered a used Laguna 18bx delivered for the price of a 14bx delivered. But trying to work out if I have room for it? I assumed the width 919mm was the actual width of the machine but it looks like from photos that the depth is greater, so is width from back to the front?

Hi thanks I haven't bought a Laguna 14bx yet so may be interested in them when I do, hopefully in the next week or so...are you happy with yours? I see the wheels are the other way round than the 14/12? the single wheel at the Back? I would have to see how the new laguna fits before I bought the...

Thanks, I have spent hours setting up and tweeking the Record. I'll look into the Laguna more...is there any other I should look at? Would prefer second hand but not seen a Laguna 14bx for sale used.

Hi did you sell the wheels? thanks

I've never used or thought I'd need a bandsaw before. I was making some guitar necks on my CNC machine and needed to cut some 5mm x 60mm strips of hardwood. I struggled on my small tablesaw so someone suggested a bandsaw would be ideal .I managed to find and buy a Record Power BS300 from market...

Just joined, wanting advice about various tool buying, and recommendations thanks
