Bandsaw -- Belt vs. Gear Drive
I'm looking at 7"x12" horizontal bandsaws. Among the choices
from Grizzly, Enco, and KBC appear to be three different designs. Enco has a 137-3195 7 X 12 1HP GEARHEAD BAND SAW for $ 750 -- the only gearhead model in that price range that I've seen. Does anybody have experience with that model? I gather a gearhead bandsaw will supply more torque for the harder cutting jobs -- but will probably also be more prone to damage if the saw jams. Can anybody recommend this model, or one of the other saws in the same price range? |
