New Bandsaw Gloat

[Stuart BridgerParticipant @stuartbridger82290]

Great timing, I'm looking to pull the trigger on a Femi bandsaw, just waiting in financial approval . I am am sold on the NG 120, based on capacity. This is on the same reasoning as buying a lathe, getting the biggest one I can afford. Feature creep is coming in though, is it worth the extra for auto downfeed? Also has one got the stand. No room on my bench, so the stand looks interesting.

Great video on youtube comparing the manual v auto. To be fair unless you are using for production work i suppose auto is a luxury, although Femi claim the blades last longer on auto.

I don’t have space for a permanent set up, so bought the Femi Jobby folding stand, it works similar to an ironing board, but is rated at 50kg, i thought it would come in handy for other uses as well as the saw. It will be hung on the wall between duties.
