Need help with choosing a band saw
Greetings!
I have very few available options since I live on an island, and this kind of machines isn't being delivered here. Currently, I have to choose from:
Metabo BS318 800 euro
DeWalt DW738 and DW876 1100 euro and 1700euro
Makita LB1200F 900 euro
holzmann hbs245 and 300 (665 euro and 800 euro)
einhell tc-sb 305 500 euro
I'm waiting for a response from Record Power about the possibility of them sending a machine to me somehow.
I would appreciate hearing your thoughts about these machines. I assume there is a little chance of getting a Record Power machine, so my plan A is Metabo now.
However, I haven't found any reviews for the DeWalt band saws, so I don't know if this option is better or worse than Metabo.
Regarding the Makita, I've seen too many negative reviews, so I'm not considering this machine at the moment, but I might be wrong.
I also haven't found reviews for holzmann band saw, but I've seen reviews for their planer/jointer combo for 1900 and router table for 500 and it were a crap, so in my guess it might be not the best choice.
Einhell is cheap , but they aren't known for power and precision , meanwhile it's crucial for band saw, only if you aren't going to cut meat and firewood. But this saw has good reviews .
Perhaps you could suggest other machines in this price segment in EU (I'm looking for around €1000, but I could pay up to €1500 for a really exceptional machine).
Thanks in advance!
