I recently aquired a pristene SCMI Mini Max S45 18" bandsaw. Its the 2 tone green model. It resaws about 10" under the guide. The motor claims to be
1.8h 220vac but it physically looks smaller than a US 1hp motor. My dilemma is that I recent fitted a really nice 14" Rockwell with a riser block and a 1-1/2hp 220VAC motor. I do want to do some resawing of logs and try my hand at veneers.Just wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the S45. It has been replaced by an S45N from what I can read on the web. The N has a bigger motor and
12" resaw capacity.As usual, opinions appreciated. Marty
