Top 3 Best Benchtop Bandsaws under $600 (2022 Review)
Updated: Aug 21
If you have a small shop and a small budget, a benchtop bandsaw might be right for you. Frankly, these bandsaws are not industrial machines and won’t be able to handle all projects. A Benchtop Bandsaw has a significantly less powerful motor than a midsize or large bandsaw. They also have cheaper parts. However, benchtop bandsaws are mainly great for cutting plywood sheets ⅛”-¾” thick. They will get many of your projects completed, just be aware they have their limitations.
