Greetings,
I currently use a Rockwell 28-3X0 2hp 20" bandsaw for re-sawing and preparing bowl blanks.
The Rockwell is outfitted with Urethane tires, Carter guides, and a Lenox Carbide Tri-master blade.
It is sound and runs flawlessly but I'm concerned that as time passes parts are becoming harder to find.
I'm hoping bearings and other consumables should always be available.
I also use a 14" Jet (really should be an Iturra Designs due to all the after market bits) saw for everyday tasks.
There is a used MiniMax S400P in my area that is in very nice condition.
Is there a compelling reason to replace my Rockwell with the MM?
I'm a bit concerned that I can't find online manuals, parts lists, etc.
What is a reasonable price for a 2012 S400P?
