Hey all,
There is a wealth of bandsaw knowledge - and experience - out there among Creekers and I'd like to tap into some of it if you please.
I currently have a 2004 MM16 and like it, but we're moving from NC back to AZ and moving the MM is not an option. I'm selling it and looking for a bs to replace it in the desert.
I don't do much resawing so I'm not looking for another MM16 but I do like the Italian Stallions; looking at the specs of Minimax's S45N, it seems like the perfect bandsaw for my purposes, but I've not been able to find much experiential information on it anywhere I've looked. Frankly the lack of popularity on that saw is almost suspicious, making me wonder what's wrong with that saw.
Can anyone shed some light on that OR offer up another of the European or US saws that is similar? Basically a Euro or US made 18" saw with ~12" resaw capability in the low $2k range. Any help would be most appreciated. Thanks!
