I've bought an Axminster AWHBS250N bandsaw, anyone got one?

[ByronBlack]

Despite my anti machinery slant, I can't do without a bandsaw, so ive bought one of these baby sized ones.

I did a bit of a search on the forum, but didn't come up with much, so I thought I'd ask about just in case anyone has used one and can give me some feedback on how they have got on with it.

I've had a 14 inch axminister bandsaw in the past and thought it was excellent.

I've also ordered two blades from EPS via workshop heaven, has anyone used these?

I got one for my home workshop just for little bits a pieces, I think its great for the money. The only issue I had was with the mitre fence and the rubbish blade.

I've been using the EPS blades from WH for the last 10 months. I use the vanilla ones, not M42, and they seem to suit the simple sort of work I do so I'll stick with them.

I think Pete (Newt) has one of these bad boys and rates it highly, needs some fettling in, but not sure what. Decent blade will always help - Rob

Thanks for the feedback chaps, I shall give a mini review when it arrives.
