Re: Bandsaw power

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

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.
