Re: Bandsaw power
I¡¯m pretty happy with my FB510. It has the same resaw capacity as the FB610 and the same motor. So you can save a bit of coin if you can accept the slightly diminished cutting width (3.75¡± less on

Re: Bandsaw power
Hi Doug! For reference, I wound up ordering a FB710 earlier this Spring. When I was doing my research, I learned that the FB610 is only available with the 4hp 1ph motor, while the FB710 is only

Re: Bandsaw power
Hi Doug, You've received good feedback here. I build some guitars (hopefully more soon) and lots of furniture. We have a FB540 and it's plenty for your use. I'd also second a MM16 or MM20. We have a

Re: Bandsaw power
I have the MM20 and cut through anything without issue. Several luthiers come over for help and I have done plenty for guitars. I try to limit to 16 inches but only because I have a 16 inch jointer. I

Imran, Thank you again. I got the same advice from Felder USA tech support.? I removed the plug and the receptacle and reseated all the wires.? Everything looked snug and fine.? However, that must

Re: Bandsaw power
I purchased a used 2004-2005 Laguna LT20(ACM 500, i think) with a 4.8hp baldor motor. For what you want to do, a machine like this with a carbide blade(i have resaw kings) would meet your

Re: Bandsaw power
Look for a used mm16 or mm20, a vintage mm16 2000ish can resaw 12¡± no problem, you could easily get it in your basement and it will tension a CT blade. I would go for the mm20 if you could find one.

Re: Bandsaw power
Dough, How wide and tall is your doorway?? How many steps down the stairs to the basement? The FB 710 is a very large bandsaw, weighs 900 lbs, and is 90 inches tall.? It requires (for me) a forklift
