Agazanni B-20 awesome, love mine.
I have Agazzani B20 from Jesse at Eagle Tools in LA. I looked at MM20 and used the MM20 for 30 minutes. The Agazzani is much better in my opinion. First, Jesse sets up and tunes every machine...
I have Agazzani 20" bandsaw. The bearings on the guides are frozen or the guides are not adjusted correctly. I have never had sparks with the guides. The guides work great. There is no need for...
I have had Agazzani B-20 for one year. It is a fantastic bandsaw. New guides witout lock nuts are so easy to use. It arrived tuned up and ready to go. Jesse at Eagle Tools is the best.
Best router for table use I have ever used. Before it, I used Makita and Hitachi plunge routers. The Makita height can be adjusted in very small increments, the collets beat any I have used and it...
I am redoing our kitchen. Drawers are up to 30" x 21". I am using 3/8" baltic birch plywood, no sagging at all, 1/4" had some sagging. I would do 3/8", not 1/2". My local lumber yard ordered it...
Milwaukee 5625 is best overall for router table use. Skip the lift. You won't miss it with the Milwaukee 5625. look at www.patwarner.com for an evaluation of routers for router tables and building a...
A few years ago, I did 1,500 lineal feet of 3/4" x 7-1/4" poplar making tongue and groove on edges for paneling. The boards ranged from 10' to 14' long.
The table saw and router table will not...
I am a big fan of the orange jig that allows accurate and simple drilliing of the angled holes and the rear hole. It is well worth the money.
I have the Agazzani 20" on Zambus casters, perfect for a 2-car garage. I am biased, of course, and think the Agazzani is the perfect bandsaw for your needs. I can provide more detail if you wish.
Attached is how I mounted a 7" Lee Valley quick release vise to a 3" maple top. The metal vise face is 5/8" below the wood top and works great. The URLs below show pictures:

I have Milwaukee 5625 mounted in router table. Bolted base to 3/4" MDF mounted over a torsion box. Photos aare shown in www.patwarner.com. Previously, I had used Hitachi and Makita 3 hp plunge...
If resaw capacity and horsepower are the only criteria, then MM is the clear choice. For overall usability, I found Agazzani to be a much better choice. The Agazzani has enough power to do any job I...
Look at the Agazzani B-20. I chose it over the MM for many reasons I have posted recently.
Agazzani does have a vulcanized tire that is designed to last many years. I understand that it can be replaced though not as easily as one with a tire ridge. That was not an issue for me as I have...
Much better way is to glue up two at a time then glue two of the doubles, etc. It is much easier to align the surfaces and get tight joints. Use clamps about every six inches.
Tom,
I went through the same decision process earlier and bought the Agazzani B-20. I read hundreds of posts on this site and many others. I spent two hours using the MM-16 and talked to multiple...
I googled the brand and no installation instructions are to be found. Looking at the slides, they appear to be the same/similar to Accuride 3832. I have attached detailed instructions for the...
I suggest you use instead the Milwaukee 5625-20 fixed base router. I have used Makita and Hitachi plunge routers and the Milwaukee 5625-20 fixed base router in a router table. The Milwaukee is far...
I recently built a 24" x 96" Holtzapffel bench out of hard maple. The two vises (Lee Valley 24" twin screw and 7" quick release) and hardware were about $500. The hard maple was $500. Total was...
I have the Zambus caster on Agazzani B-20. I concur they are wonderful. The handwheel is very easy to use as it can be done by hand without any tools.
Agazzani 20" is hard to beat in $2000-$3000 price range, reasonable price and a joy to use. Contact Eagle Tools and talk to Jesse. He really knows band saws.

Panasonic 15.6 scores tops in nearly every tool test. I have one and it is marvelous.
