Dewalt 876 Bandsaw, Any Comments?

Looks like a yellow metric version of the 12” Rikon; which is also sold in black paint as a Sears Craftsman.

If it is just another rebranded version of that saw, I have the smaller, 10” (250mm) version and I like mine a lot. The only issue I have heard is difficulty in setting the guides. I have had no problem with mine.

That’s a tool sold to the European market. It may be built in France
or Italy. Smaller steel-framed bandsaws sold in N. America would tend
to be of Pacific Rim origin.

Both French and Italian made machines tend to be well-made in
my experience compared to the small shop Asian stuff.

Update – I did a little search-fu and found it’s an Italian saw.

Thanks guys for your input.

Loren, you obviously have a lot more knowledge of how to get info than me! I thought I was reasonably good at researching! Thanks so much, I am happy to get an italian saw because I reckon spares will be easier to come by. I am also looking at a Kitty at the moment which I believe is a french brand

Yeah, Kity is pretty good stuff, or used to be anyway.

Just an update. I bought the dewalt saw. It is still in the box though!! As soon as I get a chance to set it up i’ll post my thoughts. Had it running in the box and sounds sweet though!! Thanks again for the input guys,

Cheers

Garry
