A couple of weeks ago, I failed to get a used Agazzani 18" bandsaw, so now I am deciding on a new bandsaw purchase. I am semi-retired and a novice woodworker, and want to purchase my best and last bandsaw first. Like many, I have narrowed my choices to MM, Laguna, and Agazzani.
This got me to thinking about what is the biggest bandsaw I can reasonably put in a 2 car garage shop? I do not plan to have a table saw. I use a circular saw for sheet goods. The bandsaw would be used mainly for ripping solid lumber. A larger bandsaw will get me larger blades and a larger work table. A 12" resaw capacity would be fine for my needs.
Would a 20" or 24" bandsaw be too big for a 2 car garage shop? The bandsaw would have to be mobile so my wife can park in the garage during the rainy season.
Thanks.
