"Great saw for small parts" 2009-08-01
By Sue
When i first got it out of the box i had my concerns,but once i started using it i was a believer.
Had this band saw for about 6 months and very happy with it .
Use it for brass pieces... tubes, rods,bar stock.Cut a 3 inch long cut 1/4inch thick brass bar stock and it worked like a dream. Slow steady feed with a lubricant and it came out great.
Would recommend to a friend!!!
"Poor quality, bad design." 2009-06-01

The saw comes with the triple-bearing guide (# 28187) so you don't need to order it as an accessory as Amazon recommends. The band saw is very very light and must be bolted to the workbench to do any work. Even though the blade guide goes up to allow for 3" thick material, do not expect to do anything larger than 1/4" brass or aluminum. When I tried to feed 1/2" aluminum bar the saw really struggled and made sad noises. The saw quickly developed blade-tracking problems and more importantly it would refuse to to start without me manually giving the blade-wheels a push. And this is only after a few hours of operation! I tried to adjust and readjust to no avail, The saw just refuses to keep the blade tracking.
The table is machined aluminum and is pretty flat, However, the center of the table (where the blade exits) has a 1" square whole covered by red plastic. This cover sits about 1/16" lower than the surface of the table. It tends to catch on whatever you trying to cut. There's also no easy way to shim this up. This should have been brass, and allow for adjustment to be even with the table.
In addition, there is no ripping fence on the table or any provision for one. The single T-slot on the table is parallel to the direction of the cut and is positioned close to the blade. The single purpose of this slot is for the included miter gage. There's no way this can be used to fashion some semblance of a fence. I found myself just clamping a bar to the table for the purpose of a fence, which is a pain to adjust or keep parallel to the blade.
To conclude, I expected this to be a nice little saw for precise work on small parts. It fails to deliver. I would not recommend this to anybody.
