Bandsaw Advice Scheppach BASA 3.0V and must have Blades

[PJM]

HI Guys,

I have just reached the conclusion that I need a proper Bandsaw in addition to the very small budget one that I just use occassionally. I have been looking at the Scheppach BASA 3.0V and am considering buying one in the near future ( next credit card period).

This model seems to have all the features that I need, particularly big table, good cut distance from vertical pillar and good depth of cut. Has anyone got or had one of these and have any views on them. Screwfix seems to be the most cost effective supplier.

I would also like to know which are the Must Have Blade sizes and tpi pitches that I must have, and is there a table saying which is the best for each material softwood/hardwood and cutting circle.

Thanks in advance for your help.

..a few posts on this subject recently. The above contains links to some good Youtube vids.
Seems like a decent saw for the money as I have been thinking about getting the same myself. Not sure about blades, but my starting point is always Tuffsaws....
