Re: New Hammer N440 or Used/like new Minimax S45N

The same problem exists on my 2016 FB510 bandsaw, very poor design for a bandsaw at this price range. I paid C$3955 (3500 plus tax) in 2016 after getting a C$500 show discount.?
Today, the list price is C$6377, WOW! I hope this issue is fixed now. If not, there is no reason to buy it.

Here is a link illustrating the issue - make sure you can deal with this before you buy.? It¡¯s a systemic problem with this N4400 machine, and makes veneer resewing a huge challenge:
Hi Imran
Thanks for reply.?
Yes I am aware that the N4400 is not without some flaws. I got the impression this particular issue wasn't universal and the 'fudged' solution is to to not over-tighten the knob locking/securing the guide assembly..
I'm sure the N4400 is an adequate saw just wondering if the ?750 cheaper S45N (admittedly 2nd hand) is an equal or even superior alternative..?
