    Default Elektra Beckum

    Hi Guys

    Are any of you familiar with this make bandsaw? I've been looking to get a bandsaw for quite some time now and when this one came up for auction I decided to bid on it and managed to get it for a pretty decent price. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

    Cheers

    I don't own or have used that band saw but it probably just needs proper tuning up and get good quality band saw blades.

    Considering how little I paid for it I wasn't really expecting it to be the Rolls Roice of bandsaws. Still it doesn't look too bad, time will tel I guess.
