In August this year I purchased a Draper two wheeled bandsaw mod no/BS200A, knowing that Draper tools are good !! however the first one arrived and it would not start, its replacement had parts missings which were replaced.
Today (sat 19th oct) i finally got round to putting it to the test. I wanted to rip 2"x1" softwood timber and it kept stopping after about 20 to 30 seconds, I tried it on a piece of 3 ply timber and it was ok it struggled on anything bigger and kept stopping. I think it would struggle to cut butter!!. What a useless bit of kit this is!
I am very dissapointed with it. I am retired and a very keen diyer but not with this machine i would not be.
