Axminster 16" SBW4300B .... It's finally arrived...Took me 2 hours to assemble it and set it it up ...But the hardest part was getting it out of the crate and manouvering it into the workshop co's it weighs 146 kg (322 LBS) ...It is a really fine machine and it can be set up very accurately..all the main working parts are made of cast iron and steel..no nylon or plastic parts...After set up I gave it a test and cut a pair of sides at 2.5 mm easily..the only thing I could fault it on were the blade guide bearings, They are the metal shielded type and dust can get into them and clog up.. I prefer the rubber sealed type and I will most likely change them at a later date...I think this will be the last bandsaw I ever buy
