  • It's taken me 6 years to get round to deciding to buy a bigger bandsaw and then I buy the wrong one!
    Thanks to Dan and Yandles for babysitting me through my troubles! :-)

    Looking @ getting my first bandsaw was going to go for the 350 but then saw the Sabre and now its the one! Only really a hobby not a business but you just got to spend sometimes to get what you really want! TFS 'thanks for sharing'. GB :)

    The bearings on a band saw are the main thing, they are the difference between good cuts and bad cuts. As long as the boss (I mean the wife) does not see this video and make you take it back you have a great saw.

    As the owner of a BS350s I find it to be a capable saw that is very well built. But it has a few things that I think the Sabre range have fixed, for a start the fence is shite because you can't remove it unless you remove the blade first. You can buy an aftermarket fence from Axminster that is far better. It's a good fence in use, but not when you don't want to use it if you follow me. Also the wheel kit is abysmal and the wheels buckle easily due to two being fixed and 2 on castors. Also the drive belt is prone to breaking if the wheels aren't aligned perfectly.

    The amount of times I've bought a tool and instantly regretted not buying the next model up! Great video

      Yeah, the first job is to cut my curved oak braces which was never going to happen with a jigsaw! 😂

    Really good video, a bandsaw is on my wish list but since my shed is only 10x8 I am limited to what I can have, plus I am beginning to use hand tools a lot more and my sawing is getting more accurate plus hardly any noise and oh yes the dust falls on to the floor and not in the air

    So pleased I came across your video 😀. I was considering buying another makers model for roughly the same price and this machine seems to have a substantial higher spec. Just wondering if you are still enjoying your purchase?

    Thank you very much! I am setting up new workshop (well, its been 3yr setup for now and still I do not have even finished walls :D ) and Iam looking for new bandsaw. Just next weekend Iam passing by seller of record power so I want to check it out . And whoaw! they have nice discount just these days :) I was thinking if I need Sabre or just regular one. Height cut seems to be enough at regular one and it even looks that they add quick release tension to regular (that is "must have" for my new saw) but.... it looks that you made my decision and Sabre wouldnt be just good but even great saw... I want that! :)
    Many thanks for this video. Tomas

    Hi Tim, watching this now for the first time and I'm only at 3:50 and I already know you've already made up your mind to swap the one you have for the bigger/better version :-)))))) (let's continue watching and find out, shall we?!) :-)))))

    • @TheRestorationCouple

    At 0:36 is it an optical illusion/camera angle or a fault with the fence as it seems to be NOT parallel to the mitre slot.

    If you're not a woodworker, not after a bandsaw or not a tool nerd, you're probably a bad person.
    Extreme? Yes. True? Yes.

  • @AndyUK-Corrival

    Great choice to go bigger and more robust. I’m still getting by with my Charnwood 715 but often I struggle to do the cuts I want. I assume the two models had different power motors? Just catching up on videos... Andy UK

  • @dannymurphy1779
    @dannymurphy1779 5 лет назад

    Tim it looks like a wonderful piece of kit but what can it do for you in addition to your Festool tracksaw, a tablesaw and jigsaw??? Like Peter Millard gets by with an £80 Aldi bandsaw. I'm not really clear what a bandsaw does that other tools don't. I did however read it is very good if you are building a boat, which would admittedly be a cool thing to do.

    • @TheRestorationCouple
      @TheRestorationCouple  5 лет назад +2

      Good question. Mainly the ability to rip larger timber, i.e resaw boards, logs, bowl blanks etc, possible on a table saw up to a point but can be risky. Plus in the immediate future cut all my curved oak braces which is not going to happen with a jigsaw or my little table top saw.

    Great demo!
    Question: it looks like this comes with a normal 13 amp 3 pin UK plug, is that right? I rent my workshop and so I can't get any rewiring done for 16 amp plugs, so if this takes a standard plug it sounds ideal!

    I hope your Sabre350 worked when you got it. Just bought a sabre450 for my workshop. What a disappointment. Didn’t work on delivery. An electrician found it had been wired incorrectly inside. Very poor quality control for what is suppose to be the top of their range machine. Wouldn’t buy record power ever again.
