Bought a new bandsaw, did have one but it was fairly old and not very powerful, this will be used for both woodworking and the aircraft kit. I'm using a 6 TPI blade which is a little brutal for aluminium but is ok if your careful. 8 ot 10 TPI (teeth per inch of blade) is recommended. It came with a stand which I've added wheels to so it can be moved around workshop and put out of the way when not in use.
