Hi, I'm looking to upgrade my Charnwood W730 bandsaw (selling it in the next couple of weeks). I'm looking at either the Laguna 14/12 Bandsaw or the Record Power Sabre 350. Has anyone got any advice/opinions on these or other options? Thanks in advance

Hi and welcome. There are some very helpful and knowledgable folks on here (don't include me in that though!) :)

If you go to Yandles near Yeovil and look at their pricing of stock it may give you an idea?

Ours too ! gone are the days when you could get something.

I moved mine with an engine hoist and strap webbing. Maybe enquire at a plant hire shop?

Nice find !

That is stunning, I would have loved that as a child. I'm now 65 and would love it even more now. Great find sir !

Hi all, and I'm near Minehead :)

If I'm drilling up to say 13mm, I'll centre drill first and then go up through sizes until I reach 13mm. Obviously the speed of the lathe/mill/drill needs to correspond to the bit size and material.

Deema may be on to something

I do cut through different materials and just find it useful. Maybe not the greatest thing in the world...but there ya go

I believe Yandles have a Record Power sale coming up, maybe worth a look on their website.

Hi, I've got the Evolution circular saw with the tracks as I cut wood and metal. I can't fault the results or the saw and track and I've had them for about 3 years now. Like others have said, it's not for fine woodworking so...horses for courses really.

I have the Charnwood W730. If the W740 is the same quality go with the Record Power bandsaw. I went to Yandles a couple of weeks ago as I'm looking to sell my Charnwood in a few months and I'm either going to buy the 14" Sabre 350 premium or the Laguna 14/12 as they're a totally different animal.

I've got a Charnwood 14" bandsaw and a Charnwood drum sander. As Simon89 says...you get what you pay for. Going on my experience they're 'okay' but if possible go for a better quality brand.

I've been using Heller cobalt drill bits for years and I'm reluctant to use another brand now. Here's a link to a set that goes up to 10mm...

Our shed is directly under a cherry tree. The shed has a felt roof and although it has a lot of bird poo the felt is still fine after 8 years.

Wonderful build guys !!! It's always inspiring seeing other peoples guitar builds. I retire in four months time so have started to get my sheds ready for woodworking and metal work. Excited or what !

That has to be one scary ride they need at Alton Towers :) would it go faster with slick tyres?

Hi, I don't know if this reply will help at all. I have an Axminster AW106PT planer thicknesses paired to a Charnwood W791CF Dust Extractor With 1 Micron Cartridge Filter. Most of the chips get sucked up into the extractor however; there are chips left behind on the thicknessing table after each...
