Hi Matthew, I was delighted to find that you are a serious woodworker here in Israel while researching for bandsaws. I am now in the market for a good bandsaw and am considering the Hammer N4400, so wondering if you decided to buy it and get your feedback on it. As for myself, I am a guitar maker here in Israel, living in Kadima and you can see my work on my site: www.erez-perelman.com Hope to hear from you and get to know some serious woodworker here Best, -Erez
