Re: The Editors Mailbox Has a New Home

Hello from the frozen north -- winter has just started in for real here. I am interested in the Laquna 18 inch bandsaw;but, I am somewhat confused -- nothing new -- the machine is made in two different places. One of the bandsaws are made in ASIA and I have read blogs about shoddy workmanship concerning these saws? The complaints have been partially machined parts etc. The saw that is made in Italy ,on the other hand, has received raves about it's fit and finish -- it is talked about as an almost perfect machine. The price for the saws are in the range of 1000.00 difference? I am a strong believer; you only buy machinery once, so spend the money and get the best offered. What do you think; is the machine from Italy the answer? I am willing to spend more money for less headaches years down the line so any informed help would be much appreciated.
Thanks and all the best: Jack Martin, Winnipeg,Manitoba Canada
