What Woodsmith says. The AWSBS is a cracking little bandsaw and very accurate when correctly set-up. It was my first bandsaw and still use it almost daily.
You could fix a ply bed using these threaded inserts although I would go for 8mm if the holes are large enough.

Last but not least, I heartily recommend the Bandsaw DVD from
