Scroll Saw or Bandsaw?

 2312 forum posts 112 photos | Probem solved at the MMEE, just walking around after buying much needed supplies, I spotted a small Proxxon MBS 240/E bandsaw and, out of idle curiosity, I had a closer look. This bandsaw tackled steel, brass, aluminium, plastic and even, with the correct blade, ceramic. The speed is infinitely variablefrom 590 fpm to 1082 fpm, a bit quick for steel but most of my need is to cut brass. It has provision for dust extraction and can be fitted with coolant, there are two built-in drains. Not cheap at around £250 although second hand, bigger machines can cost more and most are only suitable for cutting wood. |

| 344 forum posts | Proxxon make some excellent tools. Yes they are more expensive than many of their competitors but they are made very well with great attention to detail. I have several of their products and can't fault them. Roger Edited By Roger Provins 2 on 15/10/2016 20:21:07 |
