In this video I review my Titan TTB705BDS 80mm 240v Bandsaw.
I've had the saw about 3 months and have had a few subscribers ask my thoughts so thought I'd do a review.
The saw is from Screwfix and costs £99.99.
It's very much a budget hobby saw but for the money I think it is great especially as it has a 2 year guarantee.
Features:
350W Induction Motor
Table W x D: 305 x 305mm
Max. Cut Depth: 80mm
Max. Cutting Depth at 90°:
Aluminium Table
Tilt Range: 0-45°
Throat Depth 230mm
Link to the saw: www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb70...
I hope you find it useful.

I have mine coming Tuesday. I don’t need anything above entry level as I might only use it once a week at the most but it can get a bit difficult with the jigsaw. I won’t be resawing anything as I have neither the room or strength due to upper body difficulties. The best thing about Screwfix is you can sort a return in a day usually. A great and informative review and subscribed.

Nice review thanks. I have had this bandsaw for about 4 months. I really like it, very useful and handy. It comes with. 1/4 inch blade (6mm) (6 teeth per inch) which I found to be a bit flimsy and wavered a bit in straight cuts. I bought a 3/8 inch blade (10 TPI) which made all the difference. Much better cut, especially on resawing. I bought it from The Bandsaw shop, on line. £14 inc all delivery postage etc. Well worth it, and got it next day.

Just in passing - if you happen to live where Screwfix aren't delivering at the moment (like France where I live) the same machine is branded MacAllister and available in places like Brico Depot for the same price. MacAllister is listed as Kingfisher Products, which is the parent company for Screwfix. I went in to compare the MacAllister to the Titan and found that it was identical! Same machine.

Seems like a really fair deal, Titan stuff definitely isn't bad for the money. Looks to offer a bit more than some of the other budget hobby bandsaw offerings in the £80-£120 range. That table definitely looks more useful than some of the others, at least it's cast alloy and has a mitre slot for custom jigs etc. Might well pick one up for prepping blanks for the lathe, shame the depth of cut isn't a little bit more for deeper blanks.

I gave a thumbs up because it was a useful review. If I would have one slight criticism, it would have been better to show the test cuts in real time so we could see how well it handles the wood. At X12, any old bandsaw would look like it's cutting well. But a useful review. Thank you.

The thing about the fence is that bandsaws are often used freehand and if you want a straight cut you use a table saw with a fence.

I purchased one of these 3 months ago. It was was awful when it arrived. The factory setup is appalling. You need to go through just about everything especially drive belt tension. I found a couple of rubber tabs under the fence clamps made a much more stable fence. Having set the blade up and all the supports left right and back on the upper guide and the same on the lower guide it now cuts straight and true and there’s no drift. Awesome. I’m happy to recommend this saw now.

Generally if it’s turning then the blade is too wide for the size radius of turn you are doing. So really you probably need a narrower blade. 👍🏼

I have had this saw for about a month now and have really enjoyed using it, I have been mainly cutting mahogany and Ash, of about 5cm thickness, it has managed this with no problem both with straight cuts and curved cuts. I think the blade it came with is probably not the best and will probably replace it with something a bit better. The machine works perfectly well providing you remember it is a bandsaw and not a table saw, this machine does slower cuts but can cut curves as well as straight cuts.

Dont get the screwfix recommended blade (Starrett 1575mm or 62inch blade) its too big. To cut my story short I measured the blade , it was 1583mm and there was insufficient ajustment on the saw to acommodate the oversize. The box the blade came in even had a label stating it was 1575 when it obviously wasnt.

I wanted a saw for cutting 6mm ply for a modelling project. I bought a table saw that doesn't have the strength of this. I have had Titan tools before and they can take an awful lot of abuse. Having seen this I shall buy one now rather than spend a lot of time fiddling about with the tablesaw which quite clearly isn't up to the job, ie it overheats and blows a fuse after a very short time. A cheap Chinese motor as against something rather more substantial. Good review, told me all I want to know.

Watch out for the plastic guide mechanism, it has soft plastic teeth and they get worn fast if you don't help lift mechanism with your hand when adjusting, also make sure you you do all the guide tighteners before each project and test it with a cheap bit of wood before you try an expensive or important piece.

@@paulround8501 Looks like I got lucky with my fence. Not so good with the mitre guide which has some sideways play and up to now the best cure is with thin tape but this does not last for too long as you can imagine. I will probably have to make a new runner from something (plastic) eventually but hey...its the first bandsaw i`ve owned and I am more than pleased with it.

Re comments below. Heads up for availability of this bandsaw. Got email from S. Fix. Restocking on 22nd Oct. Looks exactly like the Aldi one (different colour)which got a good review. That was £81 but not available. Sold out!

pete wright: The ALDI bandsaw is good value at its lower price but only has a pressed steel table which is trickier to adjust if you need to tweak or alter its tilt angle, and it doesn’t have a mitre slot. Also its throat is smaller - 8 inches compared with the Titan’s 9inches.

@ianmathieson65
@ianmathieson65 5 жыл бұрын
A lot of users think the tracking should be set so the centre of the blade lies at the highest point of the tyre but this causes blade wander as the teeth try to ‘flip’ from side to side when the blade is pushed back in use into a slight curve between the upper and lower rear support wheels. The tracking should be set so the root of the teeth lies at the highest point. And getting a good tension is important in addition as already pointed out.

you were up early fella! I bought a second hand jet bandsaw for £50 then realised I'd bought a pup, both tyres were knackered and the lower blade guide is missing! I wish I'd got an entry model like this instead.

Comes with a quarter inches blade which is about 12 millimetres..!!! What?? 12mm is double what your blade is lol. 4.76mm is 3/16 inch 6.35mm is 1/4 inch. 9.52mm is 3/8 inch 12.5mm is half inch 19.05mm is 3/4 inch 25.4mm is 1 inch What are your blade dimensions? You need to get yourself a imperial to metric chart printed off and hang it on your wall for future reference. New Sub ☺

You do not turn that clamp on the fence to get it to lock up. You adjust it, and then lift it up to lock the fence. The way you're doing it puts it way out of whack and it isn't solid.

I would avoid Titan products to be honest. I used to have a Titan table saw, it lasted me one project (large climbing tower with connecting Wendy house) , the engine burnt-out on me while cutting 3" post into panels. The build quality is very poor, the fence had a lot of give making wonky cuts and the miter was pretty useless too. Thanks for the review.
