Axminster MCB1155HD Bandsaw unboxing and first test... All good!
I own a couple of Evolution circular saws and generally cut metal with them. The cut is usually great but I find the blade life is short even following Evolutions advice on how to approach the metal with the blade. Also there are some size limitations.
Hopefully I can reduce these issues with the purchase of my new Axminster MCB1155HD metal band saw.
In the video I run a few piece of metal and nylon through it and explain how I think it should be setup and run. Remember this is the first bandsaw I have owned so I'm still learning!
One thing that has been pointed out is where I show the vice gets in the way of the end stop, at around 21 minutes into the video. This is not a fault of the machine but an issue with the operator! The stop end is secured on one side of the vice or the other. It’s not meant to be pushed all the way through like I did.
