Novice cue makers - Bandsaw for sale

[JasonOwen]

Im posting on here before going on ebay with it..

Bandsaw Axminster AWHBS250N


This is my band saw, ive used it for 2 years as part of the process of making cues.
Its a great starter machine and will cut all ebony and exotics happily.

Needs a new blade which are about a tenner from Axminster.
Works perfectly.

New price from Axminster is £220.
Looking for £100 no offers.

Will ebay if no interest but thought Id offer it to you guys first.

Ooh, forgot to say, the fence could do with some tlc, needs tapping and screwing straight and a lock handle fitting.

Got one. Wish I could warrant 2. Unless I can sneak it in the house without the missus noticing...... Hmmm

Good luck with the sale.

For anyone not sure on these for hardwoods I can 2nd that they'll rip through every wood we use. Also worth noting that the axcalibur blades from Axminster are worth the extra money the ask for.

Mike, the fence on these models is notoriously bad. on Axminster site, the reviews suggest re-pinning the fence as it is unstable.

New one (second hand still) is a Metabo, quite a bit bigger and more heavy duty. Cuts ebony like butter.

Yep for sure.
I dont even want to send it within the UK as it will mean a pallet and lots of trouble.
