Hi all.
I'm looking at buying a Bandsaw and a Grinder. For the purpose of woodwork and knife making respectively.
Now, I know next to nothing about these tools other than how to use them, so i do not know what is good or bad.
I was hoping some of our makers on here could point me in the right direction please.
I have seen this which i like the look of
http://www.axminster.co.uk/product-Tormek-T-7-Water-Cooled-Sharpening-System-656484.htm
Would this grind the bevels or is it purely for sharpening already existing bevels?
If so, could i have reccommendations on a decent grinder please.
Also with regards to the bandsaw, I want a decent one obviously which has plenty of cutting room as i will be turning logs into planks etc. It is not for any specific purpose, more a multitude of different tasks. My mate makes garden furniture, swinging benches etc so i will be supplying his materials rather than him going to the timber yard or B&Q.
Looking to spend no more than £1000 on the lot.
Thanks
Mark
