Hello Andy,
?
We picked up used Centauro MiniMax bandsaws. ?One is a 2008 MM20, 19” resaw height. The other is a 2003 MM16, 12” resaw height. ?They are both very well built and accurate. ? Both needed cleanup and dialing in. ?Our prior Laguna was a ok machine, but the MM’s cut far more accurately. ?
We considered new machines, but at less than half the cost of one, we picked up both of these. ?Yes, it took a few hours to clean and setup, but it’s pretty straightforward and allows you to get the most out of the machine.?
If you’re cutting 12-14” figured maple, I would suggest the larger machine.?
