Great bandsaw, no match for spec at this price!
Delighted with this bandsaw. It has the spec compatible with saws in a higher price bracket. Slightly bigger table and is cast iron! Nice little worklight is handy. The fence clamps down firmly too. The mitre guage perhaps looks like it wobbles but actually there's a simple technique to keeping it steady, so works just fine, It has a couple of holes so you could easily reinfore or extend it if need be.
Due to the cast iron table and the metal doors, the machine is rather heavy...but that's a plus ploint! You really want it heavy so it doesn't move around on you. The build quality is really quite impressive. Minimal plastic, mostly alloy and cast iron.
The instruction manual is useless but don't worry there are a couple of great videos online for this model, just follow those.
Only minor defect I had was a rogue rivet head on the fence which was meant the workpiece could never sit tight to the fence to get a straight cut. So I had to get a small file and grind it down until it was flush. It meant I had to scratch up my brand new toy but its' more important that the fence is accurate!
Honestly, very satisfied with this machine, I highly recommend it.Read full review

Good quality machine but poor quality blade
I was surprised by the quality of this product and ease of assembly. The only criticism is that the blade supplied with the machine wanders so cannot be used accurately with the fence. I am hoping that a change to a better quality blade will cure the problemRead full review

perfect small workshop bandsaw
this is a well made precision piece of kit. perfect for the small workshop. easy to set up. rip cuts are straight and free hand cuts do exactly what you want without any wander at all. if treated within its designed specification it should last a lifetime. definitely one of the best on the market.Read full review

Can't wait to use it again, so good
I bought this because it has a 4 inch depth of cut where most budget machines have 80mm only. Plus the reviews were good. At £229 it is amazing value, everything except the mitre guide is well made and solid. I followed all the setup tutorials on YouTube and found it invaluable because most of the settings were off as supplied,
This machine breezed through cutting tenons in 4" X 2" timber and I'm looking forward to using it again.

Good saw
Having researched bandsaw in this price range I chose the Metabo bandsaw, only just set it up and minimal usage so far. But the quality of unit is obvious, so my recommendation is the Metabo. Only one point, spent time setting up blade to guides, you will not be disappointed.Read full review

Excellent bandsaw for DIY
Bought this for DIY projects and it's absolutely brilliant. Easy to use. Changing the blades is also easy. Feels good quality and very strong.

Works well
Well produced bit of kit. Needs some time to set up properly but when done so runs well.
When cutting mitres in fairly thick wood the body does vibrate a little but this does not affect the finished result.Read full review
