Comments about Scheppach 10'' Band Saw:
I am a novice band saw user but have used many other power tools in various woodworking and boatbuilding projects. For previous projects I had used a hand held jigsaw to make curved cuts in soft and hard woods but had a lot of trouble making the cuts in thicker hardwoods especially if they needed to be beveled. I bought this saw in the hopes it would do better. It was hard to find information about the saw as it seems it is just starting to be sold in this country. I thought I found something that suggested Scheppach is a German company so I was pleased that I would avoid a made-in-China product. BUT, the saw is, in fact, made in China. Oh well. The set up was very easy, the factory installation of the blade was pretty good but I did have to adjust the upper and lower blade guides per the owners manual. The right sided lower guide is difficult to adjust because the allen set screws that allow the movement needed were covered by the lower table trunnion, which I think would have to be removed to finish the adjustment. The rest of the assembly was without incident and I started to cut. The saw did well on straight cuts of soft and hard woods 3/4 inch thick and I went to my main project- a long(30 inch) 30 degree bevel cut in a 2 and a half inch thick piece of white oak (to fashion a boat stem). The cut went OK but the blade bound up and stopped occasionally probably more due to my lack of expertise than any problem with the saw. It took some patience to go slow and to keep the piece from slipping sideways (which is when the binding happened). I do my sawing either in the garage or in the driveway and the saw is heavy to move but it is portable enough to move from the bench to a moveable table at the work site. For a novice user like me with small to medium sized projects the saw performed adequately and was relatively bomb-proof to set up and maintain. Someone who needs to make longer cuts in thicker hardwoods or intends to resaw thick boards might need a larger freestanding saw.
