    I've been on the lookout for a metal bandsaw but until now they have all been a bit big.

    Then this appeared on the Warco website . . . Happy Christmas everyone !

    Nice video. How is the machine now after a few years of use? Are you happy with it? Isn't 400W too weak? Just last week I bought a similar one, but cheaper and it has the same capacity with a 1200W motor. Hopefully it will work for a number of years also. Mine can be operated also as a portable saw, removed from the stand. Mine looks like this:



    It sure beats sawing metal using a manual hacksaw...

    Overall I’m still happy with it. It started to cut off square but this was fixed by retightening the main pivot bolt for the arm. 400 Watts is fine even on very large pieces. It has never struggled for cutting power. Main issue is the blade can make a thumping noise as it rides up the pulleys. I think it is because the machine is so small the blade is forced to twist over a small distance. Otherwise still good and quicker than hand sawing!
