    They are about the same, but the Veba has 170 mm more max. band length and it weighs 110 more pounds and that puzzles me!

    Check the wheels, like I said it appears the Veba has almost slotted tires where the ACM badged saw has open spoked wheels.
    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.
