I'm thinking about purchasing another bandsaw mostly for resawing. The one being considered is an Agazzani 24" Model 600 that's about 30 years old. It seems well constructed with a good size table but it doesn't have a miter slot. It has a 3 phase motor. I would prefer a single phase motor but I do have a rotary phase converter that runs other machines. I'm thinking of keeping my Jet 16" bandsaw for lighter work. I never heard of Agazzani bandsaws before. Are they good machines? Any idea on the value?
There is also a SCMI Model BS-24 bandsaw nearby that is very similar to the Agazzani. This one does have a miter slot and seems a little newer. Would this be a better choice?
