Record Power BS250 Premium 10' Bandsaw 250W 230V

"For the size this is an excellent machine and at the right price. Brilliant company to deal with. And it's joined the rest of the record family in my small work shop "

"All as detailed and works well, although the supplied blade is not the best."

"Great product and competitive pricing. Customer service good throughout the whole process. Would use this company again for future purchases. Highly recommended. "

"Excellent piece of engineering. Really pleased with the purchase."

"Great service from Yandles, the bandsaw was delivered on a pallet and in perfect condition. I have recently started wood turning as a hobby and the the bandsaw is for my small workshop. The bandsaw itself has been great! It might be one of the smaller Record bandsaws, but so far it has worked exceptionally well for what I need it to do. I am a joiner/carpenter by trade and have experience with larger bandsaws, so I intentionally spent some time setting it up and checking how it ran before using it in anger. It cuts square and true and had no trouble cutting a bowl blank from a Maple log about 11cm thick. So far I am very happy with my purchase!"

"I am very pleased, with the quality the saw is very good, a couple of issues with the bottom door hitting the bed when opening but that might be how I’ve set it up. Also the instructions could be clearer, that said the saw is of the quality expected from Record Power, this is the third item I have and all are of a good quality for the price. Deliver was swift actually arrived the next day so highly recommend Yandles."

"Firstly I would say that the bandsaw was extremely well packaged. It comes in a sturdy cardboard box (from Record) which is then securely strapped to a wooden pallet by Yandles. There was no damage at all when I opened the box - not even a scratch. The bandsaw itself is heavy (30kg) and well engineered. It pays dividends to read the instructions thoroughly a couple of times before attempting assembly. The first thing to do, before fixing the table, is to adjust the lower blade guides, which are not accessible once the table is installed. After that assembly is straightforward. After assembly is completed the upper blade guides need to be adjusted. I am so pleased I bought this bandsaw. It is a very considerable upgrade on the basic Clarkes machine I had before. Finally, I would strongly recommend viewing the Record bandsaw masterclass video. It features the BS350 rather than the BS250 but is still well worth watching."

"Excellent service and delivery. Highly recommended "

"Bandsaw Record BS250 review. The overall experience with the questions I asked ended up with exactly what I needed, the time that I was given was good no pressure at all to make the purchase. The machine quality is second to none I am very pleased I found that a good read of the instructions first was good time spent even with watching the videos of setting the bandsaw up all helped me as I don’t like to think I know it all."

"Record Power BS250 bandsaw, this is my latest addition of record power tools and having set it up and used it several times i can write a honest review, just like my Record lathe and Record wet stone, the build quality is exelent, like many other people have said, 'It is my most go to tool in my workshop', this replaced a cheap bandsaw that surprisingly turned out good, but the build quality is no where near that of the Record BS250, another one of my best buys, just to mention Yandles delivery was exelent and arrived unmarked and on time. ???? "

"Great product "

"Great machine, quick postage, thank you very much"

"This is my first venture into the bandsaw market, having looked at various saws I decided on this one. I have not regretted the purchase. The set up of the guides and rollers is a bit fiddly but once I got that sorted all seemed fine, for a while. Then a few problems occurred, not with the machine but my lack of knowledge/experience. Now this is where 'Dan' comes into the picture. He has been absolutely outstanding in dealing with my questions. He even contacted 'Record Power' to get an answer to a blade/bottom wheel issue. The machine itself is good and the whole customer service from the company is excellent. "

"Arrived to my home in the West Highlnds on time ,In perfect condition, easy assembly Great piece of kit"

"Excellent bandsaw for the price and depth of cut was just what I wanted "

"Amazing service from Yandles & Sons was kept updated all the way through I decided to purchase this from them due to the previous reviews I have read about packaging.As I have read from other online company that’s used a lot that there machines have arrived damaged I have to say this was delivered on a pallet in an immaculate condition.and Yandles & Sons where the best price out there as well and would just like them to know will definitely be using them again and would highly recommend them to everyone.keep up your amazing service "

"Great service from Yandles and good bandsaw with a good price. Thanks "

"Great service, arrived in the time stated a great bit of kit "

"While I have not used the bandsaw as yet the process of order through to delivery was flawless. The item was very well packaged, on a wooden skid, no damage. All in all a very positive experience."

"Record Power BS250 Quality far out ways the reasonable price, fantastic machine for small work shop or general hobby work."

"An excellent bit of kit, I put it to work soon after getting it out of the box, well packaged and delivered"

"Good piece of equipment for my woodturning needs. Easy to use and accurate cutting."

"Nice machine and a noticeable step up from my starter experience with a basic Clarke machine. Well packaged and easy to set up. As is supposed to be a “professional” model, think Record should put a cam tensioner on it and charge an extra £10 or whatever. Yandles service faultless. Very user friendly and personal attention if required"

"After reading historical reviews of damaged goods and faulty or missing parts, I decided to give Yandles a courtesy call before making my purchase. The gentleman who took my call could not have been more helpful and reassuring and told me exactly how my new bandsaw would be packed and despatched. I placed my order and waited with baited breath for it to arrive still expecting some kind of 'in transit' damage. Not so, everything arrived in good time and without so much as a single blemish on it. My new bandsaw came straight out of the box and with the expected setting up and fine tuning was up and running within just over an hour. It has to be said that this is a lovely piece of kit and runs like a finely tuned sewing machine and is unexpectedly quiet when running. Regarding depth of cut, the first piece that I ran through this was an 18" x 3" x 3" length of mahogany which I ran through a little over veneer thickness and it sailed through with ease. It's a little late for cutting a long story short but this bandsaw and the service that I received from Yandles is simply superb. Many thanks and I hope to deal with you again in the future."

"From the very first conversation that I had with the Yandles team, I knew that placing my order for a new Record Power BS250 bandsaw was going to be one of my better ideas rather than getting it through another source. I placed my order and requested a deferred despatch date and true to their word I received a message on the day that I had requested to say that it had been despatched with a tracking number and courier details. Regarding some reviews on other websites that I had read, machines were being received damaged due to what had been described as substandard packaging. Not so with Yandles, my bandsaw was delivered in its manufacturers box, on a pallet and wrapped for protection. The bandsaw itself upon opening was pristine and not a mark or a blemish on it.. lucky or not, I'll take that! The set up instructions are, as people say, a tad ambiguous but I like to get to know my machines so I probably took a little over an hour to set everything up to my liking. If anyone were to question whether this is the bandsaw for the small workshop owner then think no more. This is a lovely machine that is not only smooth but takes each and every cut in its stride. I cut my first samples out of 3"x 3" redwood to a thickness of 3mm and the thickness was consistent along an 18" length. Enough to say, I'm thoroughly impressed with both Yandles and my new Record BS250 bandsaw. My thanks to Yandles and I hope to deal with you again in the future."

"I have now had my BS250 for almost 2 years since buying it new from Yandles and it has been used most days in my hobby workshop due to the various lock-downs we have all had to endure recently and my own need to isolate during this period. A small "tweak to one to the metal feet has solved the slight instability that I reported in my first product review, and the machine is now rock solid when placed on any flat surface. I upgraded the small drive belt to a better quality one and changed the supplied saw blade to some that are made in Wales and the machine now runs like a sewing machine and cuts beautifully - it is superb and a real pleasure to use. I have resisted buying an up-rated fence from a third party and have got used to always have to set it against an engineers set square every time it is fitted or moved as it cannot be adjusted or set to stay at right angles to the machine table. I still have a use for a second machine of similar size in my model workshop and I will choose a Sabre 250 for this job as it will share many parts (including the blades) and if the fence on the Sabre 250 works better, I will also buy a spare one to use on my BS250 as it will save many hours of checking the fence even time it is moved. This BS250 is a very good machine for the money, and with a couple of minor tweaks it can be improved still further at very little cost. Highly recommended. "

"best service I have ever had and free delivery, will again when I need further parts. "

"very pleased with my band saw. good size for a small workshop and for doing home projects. If it the only power saw in a workshop I would suggest the purchase of a larger saw capable of resawing and ripping larger material. "

"superb service. And a superb machine. Love it."

"I bought my new BS250 in July 2020 when it was on offer from Yandles with the stand and wheel kit. The stand and wheel kit have still not been taken out of the box yet as I am using the machine on a workbench. The BS250 was delivered safely with no damage to the outer box but the complete lower blade guide assembly was missing and the motor housing was dented. These parts were replaced quickly after contacting Richard Strutt at Record who was more than helpful. The machine runs very well but wobbles no-matter where I position it as one of the four mounting feet is higher than the other three and this is part of the main welded body of the machine so it is not adjustable. As this mounting foot shows no signs of being bent or damaged, I have guessed that the main welded body of the machine is a little "twisted". When the machine is being used it is naturally a little unstable without constantly adding small packing strips underneath this high point every time it is re-positioned, so I should try to get the main welded body replaced as it does not inspire confidence when I am using it. I do want to buy a second machine for use in my model workshop and would like to try a Sabre 250 next but as it is such a similar machine I fear it may well share the same welded main body (?) and so I need to make sure that my next new machine is stable and does not wobble in use like this one has done from new. The only other problem that I have with the machine in use is that the fence has to be set against a machine square every time it has its position moved as it will not pull-up correctly when the lever is tightened. This is time consuming and should not be necessary and I am hoping the Sabre 250 fence will work better. This is actually a very nice machine and Record have been good to deal with, but mine has a quality problem with the main welded body and the "niggle" about the adjustable fence could easily be improved to make the BS250 a superb machine for the money."

"I was very happy with the service Yandles provided. The product was well packaged and delivered on time and the sales person i spoke to was very helpful. this was my first order with Yandles, and i would definitely recommend them to others."

"excellent machine, wonder why i didn't order one before "

"The Record Power BS250 10" bandsaw is a really good piece of kit. It is sturdy, well made and is precise in it's cutting. I looked at another brand of similar price and the Record BS259 uses better material and has a really good build quality and is streets ahead (in my view, that is). It is a nice size, not too big for my DIYer workshop, and I used it to cut a shallow curve on a piece of 23mm Ash for a chair I am making. It was spot on, really easy to use and cut the curve great. Yes, I would recommend this Bandsaw. Also, the price and delivery service from Yandle& Sons Ltd cannot be faulted. They make purchasing online a pleasure. "

"Good reliable service"

"Excellent service great machine "

"This is the first bandsaw I have had, but it seems to be very good quality. It's sturdy, easy to use and does what I need it to do. The price was very competitive and the delivery quick."

"Record Power manufactures great products and this is not the first one I purchased. The Bandsaw arrived on time and was easy to assemble and setup. Must follow the instructions. The only reason I've not give 5 stars is that the fence adjustment guide has to be setup every time for adjust it. Otherwise great product. "

"Fantastic piece of kit, Very easy to set up, nice & quiet in use. Has handled everything asked of it up to now. I have now changed the blade to 1/2 inch for resawing some large oak pieces down to size & the cuts are very straight & were very easy. I have no problem recommending the BS250 to anyone looking for a decent bandsaw. The service from Yandle's was spot on as usual. "

"Very happy with overall performance of this bandsaw. Very Good overall Quality. Easy to setup and makes good cuts. Great value for money, want to go buy more blades to practice on different woods."

" I bought the Record Power BS250 Premium 10”Bandsaw from Yandle and Sons about six weeks ago, delivered 5 days after ordering. Slight damage to motor fan cowling this looked as if it had been damaged in transit. Phoned Yandle and Sons the same day and the Band saw was collected the next day, three days later my replacement saw was delivered. The new saw was in perfect condition the quality is superb, I am more than pleased with the performance of the item. My next purchase will be the DS300 12” Disc sander, and I will be contacting the same company as I cannot fault the service and helpfulness from the staff. "
