Hello,
I am considering buying a Bridgewood PBS 440 bandsaw for sale for $1000. It appears to have been made in 1992. It looks like a nice saw and what I could find about it people seem to like them, but there isn't a lot of information on them. Are these saws direct drive? I was wondering if anyone can give me any advice based on there experience with them. I have a 20" crescent bandsaw that is decent, but definitely tired and could use some attention.
Anyone think this is an upgrade, or a lateral move, or a bad move? While the capabilities would be similar, I imagine that the Bridgewood would be a smother running machine.
Thanks in advance!
