I have decided to buy a Femi 782XL saw from Stokesy. However they now have no 230v saws in stock.

I really do not want to use Amazon after one of their delivery drivers decided to take a short cut across my garden.

I recommend waiting for Stakesys to have stock. I bought from a website that appeared to be UK based but turned out to be in Italy and had quite a lot of grief. They didn't have the table so I bought that from Stakesys and they were quick and efficient.

I emailed Stakesys and got a very quick reply. Femi saws will be available soon (I am not saying when).

I will wait.

I know just how you feel JA, I too have one of those horrible cheap flimsy Chinese 6x4 bandsaws.

Dont know why I put up with for the last 20 years, maybe because it just keep working, no matter what I feed into it.

4" round, 6x4 R,S,J, 3"X3" sq ect,ect, all the same and as for being reliable ! that,s a joke. No matter what I do, it will not cut off square, neither will the blade fall off.

I think I must have got a real dud, a Monday morning job.

PS Just asking, why did you keep it for 17 years ? If it gave me that much hardship, I would have dumped it long ago.cheeky

Maybe it has only become unreliable and unsafe in the last year (or so) - because it is finally worn out?
