which band saw to get??

dustponds10 · Feb 9, 2010

Well this could go in the fragging section but I figured that the majority of band saw users are in this forum. would you please list the band saw you use to frag your chalices and acans please. A picture would be great but if you put the name I can always google it. Thanks.

Inland is what i am thinking about getting as well. I go through to many diamond blades on my dremel and I have to make sure the dang thing is cool every second. Is there anyone else out there that uses anything different?

Thanks

I have now purchased 3 Inland DB-100 saws. Contact the people below, I have purchased all 3 from them. They ship the same day and if you give them a call they will sell it for 215.00 and that includes 2 diamond blades and shipping.

No problem. I go through one about every year and I am extremely happy that they last that long considering the amount of coral that I cut. I use them so much that I would not even feel right trying to send one in for warranty.

The acans that I sometimes get are absolutely HUGE in size. I am talking 250 plus heads and 2-3 inches thick. Cutting those things up into frags would be hard on any band saw.

Again, I could not be happier with the quality of the Inland DB-100.
