[@stevefromlondon9175]

Thank you for your video it is very interesting I have bought the 350s and it's a great machine I have many Recordpower machines and love the support you get with the company. Regards Steve UK London

[@RecordPowerTV]

Super induction! Precise and comprehensive. Love the way it streams down! Thank you so much!

[@zaraking8875]

Great presentation, thank you. I love my scroll saw but thinking now I need a band saw for larger projects, I am just a retired woman who wants everything in the workshop. Drill press and Band saw are the last two item needed.

[@saidchoucair9247]

nice demonstration... congratulations Mr. .. You are good.

[@PaulC1980]

Have a record bandsaw for almost a year, absolutely love it, such good quality

[@ansiaaa]

this presentation and all the features of this machine convinced me to buy your band saw!

[@duster.]

+ansiaaa Hi, I'm thinking of buying a bandsaw and would like to hear what you think of yours, one year on. Thanks, Bob

[@ansiaaa]

+Robert Trevena hey Robert! I sold mine a couple of months ago. it still was in perfect shape but for what I do now I needed something bigger. the bandsaw has always worked smoothly, one of the best you could buy for the price. my only complaint was the guide fence which is a bit flimsy, anyway nothing that should deter you from buying this piece of equipment if you have already set your mind on it. if you want other options you could look into JET bandsaw, but they might cost you a bit more

[@duster.]

+ansiaaa Thanks for the information, appreciated

[@ansiaaa]

+Robert Trevena glad I could help! cheers

[@duster.]

+ansiaaa I bit the bullet and have bought the BS250, it arrives tomorrow. It has the more conventional fence fitting and will more than adequate for my needs. Once again thanks for your input.

[@fusion-music]

excellent presentation Alan. Already got the BS250 but your presentation convinced me I made a good choice. Also made me wonder why I didnt get one 30 years ago.

[@VisArt08]

Excellent presentation Al. :)

[@hawkwind23]

very helpful and best video I have seen on band saw advice !

[@aljonco1]

Such a good teacher👍

[@RecordPowerTV]

Hi Allan, thank you we greatly appreciate your kind feedback and continued support. Best Wishes, Record Power.

[@matthewphelps5136]

Great video,.. plus I could listen to you talk all day.

[@horseblinderson4747]

Well presented, that's a nice saw, saws in that size class here in America typically have aluminium wheels and less than a half horse power. 110v

[@jameslester6785]

Well done Alan. Clear and concise.

[@origr28]

Hi, I have record power bk3 mk2. Can you upload a video how to work with that model?

[@Chris66able]

He says don't be tempted to buy the cheapest, so I bought the best and my wife left me !

[@malcolmalexander5246]

Alan, that's just about the best video presentation of any power tool that I have seen. Extremely informative, clear and precise. Well done. I have been looking for a power saw tool for my son to start his own workshop in our garage at home and a bandsaw seems to fit the bill. All I need is to find a 300 model for the price of the 100 and I would be a happy bunny. Any shop soiled or refurbed machines available? Malcolm

[@MrMACSWAG]

convinced,ALAN,I'm restocking in the this new year and that is the first of my purchases,if this weather gives over and I can get someone to erect my new shed/w/shop.well done Alan,

[@king5ley]

Have you ever thought of being a narrator for kids audiobooks?

[@trevorjenkins1976]

Thanks for all the good information. Just perchest a BS250 but ordered the wrong length blade it is 1785x12.7. not arrived yet, but looking at the owners manual it should be 1790. Would the 1785 fit?

[@RecordPowerTV]

Hi Trevor, thank you for your comment. This ultimately will depend on how accurate the blade manufacturer is with the cutting and welding, so unfortunately it is difficult to say, but the size which you have purchased may well fit the BS250. For additional advice from our experts, please call 01246 571 020 (and select option 2) or email [e-mail]. Best Wishes, Record Power.

[@mistershankley]

Extremely helpful. I'm new to this and the film was very clear and consise

[@barrynorman3906]

Great information. However seen this video 3 days to late. I have just purchased a Schepach Bsssa 1 hobby saw but wish I had seen your video first. Psid just over £240 for it and it does ok but think I should of gone for a better one. Just wonder if I csn put sa wider blade on it, Still I'll give it a chance to prove itself. Maybe one day will purchase a top range Record saw.

[@grahamcoulson71]

A terrific run-through, Alan, of what sounds like a top quality machine... I wonder if they're available here in France... Anyway, I learned a great deal from your superb presentation and, yes, I enjoyed it too... Thank you - your natural enthusiasm is infectious !

[@paddyuglow6967]

I really like the video, but I wish you’d deinterlaced it before uploading to fix those jaggly edges. If you’ve still got the master, I could fix that for you (in return for a hefty bandsaw discount!)

[@JuanGarcia-1125]

Justo la sierra cinta que necesito ahora que me inicié en la tornería de madera!

[@mateocrespi353]

Hello, the wheels are aluminum or iron ?? thanks

[@robfielding100]

Very comprehensive. Cheers

[@toastywarm256]

RP is OK. Ive got one of their planer/thicknessers, the CL3 lathe and BS250.The bandsaw ive had about 14 years and it gets used a lot. For home/hobby up to home professional use i'd recommend their stuff. My experience runs to everything industrial also, but for home use, or a hobby turner its a great wee saw and its rigid enough to leave the blade on it under tension for months

[@AliHassan-qc5mp]

Thumbs up for Alan!

[@billyredbullb]

How do you measure a bandsaw blade

[@toastywarm256]

+William Elwood Twice the length from the middle.

[@chrismcandrew1041]

You could be a newscaster :-))

ola parabens pelo vidio tem alguem que importe para o Brasil e quanto sairia o valor tenho interese

[@jondoe5857]

very helpful

[@steveonimac]

Anyone else have problem with the wheel kit ? The catch does not seem to be correct ...when it's assembled it appears to be to short ...the bent section that catches is far to under the other section to catch on the lip ?

[@toastywarm256]

+Steve Hawker My wheel kit was duff also but I emailed them and they sent me the replacement wheels I needed(the set supplied weren't tightened so they were bent) The catch was twisted and didn't want to properly seat against the bar that holds the machine aloft.They also sent me another catch, plus fixing kit and for some inexplicable reason a set of 4 legs.My wheel kit is on my thicknesser but I think theyre identical in operation. The free legs ill make into a stand for my RP bandsaw :D Cheers RP :DThe catch has some adjustment in that you can slide it back or forward about 1" the nyloc nut that holds it on needs loosened off to do this.I found that to operate the catch on mine I need to press down the pedal, then bend down, move the catch then release the pedal slowly. When im sure its engaged I let go.Bit of a mousetrap with 80kg resting on it lol

[@steveonimac]

I called record they sent me a new catch but still the same ...... I just don't catch on the lip of the foot pedal,I will not move it often tho. I will have another go at it sometime but not a problem really

[@toastywarm256]

Have you tried bending it ? This is where the go pro and a vid would help. Anyone know a quality vid sharing site ? lol

Too bad that this article does not exist in German.
