DELTA 28-195 10-Inch Band Saw with Stand

Comment: I purchased a Delta 28-195 Bandsaw 4 years ago for light woodwork as a hobby. If this machine has 10 hours on it, thats alot.
The wax ring upon which the blade sits on the wheels dry rotted and I'm told Delta/Dewalt no longer 'supports' this product and no parts are available.
What a rip off!!!! Delta management sucks! NO SUPPORT ON THEIR PRODUCTS.
Buy ANYTHING ELSE, it can't be worse.

Comment: Used this saw for 3 years or so for light jobs, although I've resawn with it a few times. Does a good job for the $$ on light jobs -- I know it's not meant for resawing, so my expectations reflect that knowledge and I'm ok with the way it performs. I'm intending to do much more resawing in the future and am upgrading to an 18 inch, 2 hp, 220v saw but will still use this little guy for quickie cuts from time to time. My 4-star review is based on modest expectations of the tool.

Comment: We purchased this saw 6 months ago. The little plastic gear that allows adjustment for the blade gaurd broke. We continue to receive bad news concerning the availibility of this part. Back order, after back order. Why? We need this saw. It was our fault for the breakage, I just cant believe its not available. We have ordered the gear through GRAINGER Industrial supply here in Wichita Kansas.

Comment: I ordered this product and while not to Amazons fault the product came defected. A leg on the base was broke off. I called Delta ( from the card in the package) and asked if they could ship a new piece, it was easy to replace. It cost a total of [price]. To my amazement they would not, I had to go through UPS, who shipped it, etc etc. After a week, I said the heck with it and filled out a return/replacement order and Amazon was great. The old has been picked up and a new one on t he way. So what would have cost [price], cost who knows how much. I guess I dont understand business. I guess I dont understand DELTA. Sears always stands by their products, why doesnt Delta?

Comment: Delta has a reputation for building high-quality tools that will last a long time. Unfortunately, this tool falls far short in my estimation. The poor construction is my biggest complaint with this saw. The aluminum table is flimsy and the saw frame is not rigid. In fact, my saw was so poorly constructed that it shook while running. The dealer suggested I try different blade. This is literally the worst tool I've ever owned.

If you have a need for a bandsaw, spend a little extra money and purchase one of the heavier 14" models.
