Bandsaw v Tablesaw no contest. Stationwagon v Sedan Car no contest every workshop tool is designed for a purpose every vehicle a similar claim Horses for courses.
Recently when I cut pen blanks there is no way on earth I would slip into precious Burl with my table saw. Thin kerf careful cutting maximum yield no acadamy award shape ever needed for pen blanks IMHO. Some sellers even sand their blanks they sure look great.
There is no comparison with the two saws ie one is a circular saw the other band saw. Each unit has its own defined use. Two things are crucial safety and set up. Our Wood guild bought a Saw Stop some regard as a necessity for safety any thing else is a compromise
Then you get what you pay for.
For cutting our Burl I use on my 7 foot tall bandsaw the hard faced blades they romp through tough timber. Spend a long time aligning my four band saws so they cut vertical , remove sawdust, the guides are set close to the blade etc everything depends on how you set up, maintain your saws.
As our family grew to eight of us initially we had to make great compromises in accomodation, vehicles, everything all based on NEED. In my workshops now I try to base equipment on needs now facing downsizing all considerations.
Have fun choose well made a tick on my bucket list with a Mercedes SUV arriving a couple of months ago thirteen yrs old together with our Daewoo Leganza 12 yrs old me the only driver who am I to talk about anything you say?
So have another gaze at the recent blanks saved, cut on the bandsaw easily I do draw lines in pencil guide by eye result maximum yield.
Kind regards Peter.
