I mourn the loss of Agazzani, while they weren't my favorite of the Euro saws Jesse at Eagle provided the best most dependable new sales experience. He simply provided a first class experience that is near non-existent in hobby sized machines.
You can get some great deals on Italian saws if you are patient, vigilant and are willing to drive to pick them up. My MM20 was $2250 cole to being "like new" and it probably had $1000 of accessories and brand new blades with it. I did drive 700 miles round trip to get it though.
Of all the laws Brandolini's may be the most universally true.
Deep thought for the day:
Your bandsaw weighs more when you leave the spring compressed instead of relieving the tension.
