Am considering purchase of a Hoon Haiang HB-500R band saw. A commercial 20 inch saw, weighs over 800 lbs, 6 years old, looks very good. Anybody know anything about this company, I've never heard of it. Thanks. Ron B

Ron I ran the name of your machine through the Old Wood Working Machines web sight and they have never heard of it. Do you have anymore information on it? And what part of the world are you in?

I'm in rural west central Wisconsin, south of Eau Claire right on I-94. I found that a company called "SAWYER" markets this saw but haven't found out where there out of. Built in 2001, its actually an 18 in with 12 in depth capacity, 2 hp single ph.

Man I am not finding it anywhere. I am hoping someone here has more sources than I do. Still if the price is right, buy it.
