Re: Where to buy a good Bandsaw
Since Bee is thinker savy and mechanically adept why not buy an older one to restore. OWWM are always better from what I read in Garage Journal. Very few seems to like the newer Chicom stamped steel ones.

Re: Where to buy a good Bandsaw
TImber,
Koko?
JAyL
At the moment i think i would try to avoid anything that needs alot of restoration since i am actually not that confident with my mechanical skills yet 🙂

Re: Where to buy a good Bandsaw
No need to bring a car methinks? Mayon is in -what do you call that street?- escolta. Although am not sure if that is where the warehouse is too. Just curious how good japanese BS's are.
Once talked to an old guy who worked in a davao sawmill in the 70's. Exported logs of lauan to japan. He talked about using diesel as blade lubricant (?!?!?!) and industrial belting with ply for BS tires. He said most of the equipment they had that stood up to abuse were japanese- too bad i can't recall the three brands he said were good, but one of which was hamada.
Re: Where to buy a good Bandsaw
Japanese tool industry is very mature already. If it's Japanese made then most probably it will be a very good bet ..... but will come with stiffer price too.

Re: Where to buy a good Bandsaw
Timber,
can Koko give us an idea of how much the hinokis are?
Re: Where to buy a good Bandsaw
i havent contacted hinoki yet.. having trouble gettig the contatc. i have been recommended to try "tri - gold" in pampanga.. i called them up but their technical folks arent around so will call again tomorrow
Re: Where to buy a good Bandsaw
looking back, september 2010 pa pala yung first post nitong thread..
i hope hindi na abutin ng september 2011
i hope mabago na din yung title...
"i found a good bandsaw!"
:p
tsaka medyo generic kasi yung title..actually meron naman tindahan ng bandsaw na good if not excellent...kaso mahal talaga...their lightest weighs about 100kg and worth 100k din...and of course available locally.
pero para sa mga DIY like me, ok na sakin yung 14" grizzly G055.
kelan pa kaya. pwede ba sa online 5th un?hehe

Re: Where to buy a good Bandsaw
hahaha alam ko yang store na yan. I called them up, their cheapest was 120k WAH!!!
but 14" resaw cap.!
Re: Where to buy a good Bandsaw
called hinoki, they will be sending me their catalog for bandsaw and jointer. and prices.
They no longer Stock their machines, so lahat 30 - 45 days waiting time......................................... hmmmmm
Ok for a 6 inch to 12 inch cutting height sabi sakin lahat 3 phase.... i assume my house is singe phase.... is there any way for a conversion?
Re: Where to buy a good Bandsaw
Three Phase is industrial power. Additional expenses aside from cost of band saw. Would be happy if more knowledgeable members can chime on this. There was a time when I wanted a bigger compressor but it was 3 phase.
Can 3 phase power be sourced from Meralco and for how much cost to install?
Thanks
