Carbatec Vs Jet
Hi
I am tossing up between purchasing the Jet 16" and the Carbatec 17" European style bandsaws.
The differences seem very marked in that for $400 less you actually get a bigger more powerful saw in the Carbatec saw. I am keen on buying the quality of Jet but finding it hard to justify comparing the two bandsaws.
I have had a look at Hare and Forbes and Leda but have narrowed it down to these two.
What have people found with these two saws and should I just save the extra $ for the Jet quality even though it is only a 1.5 hp machine compared with the 2 hp of the Carbatec bandsaw?
Any advice or experience appreciated.
