Product Review
Amazon.com Review
Delta's 28-276 band saw is a smart buy for the serious hobbyist interested in curve cutting and light resawing. The 3/4-horsepower 120-volt motor delivers smooth, quiet, reliable power, while the saw's nine-spoke wheels deliver more accurate tension on the blade, greatly reducing vibration. The heavy cast-iron trunnions likewise minimize vibration to the blade. For curve cutting, the large 16-by-16-inch table provides excellent support for workpieces, and tilts to 45 degrees for bevel cuts. The saw handles stock up to 6-1/4 inches thick with a throat capacity (the distance from frame to blade) of 13-3/4 inches. The lower blade guide on this saw rests only 3/4 inch below the table, which significantly minimizes deflection in the blade, a big plus. When the saw is not in use, the tension-release lever extends the life of the blade. It also makes switching blades quick and easy. The saw comes equipped with a 4-inch dust port, a smart feature you won't find on many other band saws on the market today. Package includes 3/4-inch woodcutting blade and instruction manual. --Jon Groebner

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Disappointed, Manufacturing Defects Galor..., December 29, 2003

This review is from: DELTA 28-276 Professional 14-Inch 3/4-Horsepower Open Stand Woodworking Band Saw, 120-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement)
My wife bought me this saw for Christmas and I was very excited. A Delta bandsaw! Great! Wrong, wrong, wrong.

After hauling the 240 pound box (weight is good right?) into my shop I realized that the saw was made in China! That's too bad, but hey, I thought, those are the times. They can make good tools in China, right? Of course, my Dad tells me that Lowe's was proudly displaying this saw as "Made in the USA" but that's a whole different story.

As I assembled the saw I found three different serious manufacturing defects. The first two I overcame using an anvil, hammer, grinder, files, and time. The last one defeated me.

1) One of the legs for the base was not bent close enough to a right angle to fit the base. Normally you can fiddle around with a part like this, get the bolts through, and then tighten the bolts down to line things up, but this was so off that I could not even got two bolts through the holes in the base. Hammer. Anvil. Messed up paint, but hey at least...Read more

1.0 out of 5 stars Very poor quality for a Delta product., November 29, 2003
By

This review is from: DELTA 28-276 Professional 14-Inch 3/4-Horsepower Open Stand Woodworking Band Saw, 120-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement)
I bought one of these. My wife and I managed to haul all 240 pounds of it down into the basement, where I spend most of a day setting it and a mobile base up. Then I tried to use it. I spent a lot of time adjusting, because nothing was remotely right in the setting. Then I fired it up. It ran for a few seconds, than made a lot of noise. It threw the top tire. I got it back on and got everything running again, but it continued to throw that top tire, either gluing to the back of the saw or jumping off the front. After much fiddling, Mary and I hauled all 240 pounds back up stairs and I returned it and bought the Jet JWBS-14CS instead, which is a far superior saw.

The 28-276 (and the 28-206, which is basically the same saw) is of very poor quality. The castings have lots of slag on them. There is massive slop in the adjustments. The top guide can be easily deflected. Some adjustments are very difficult to reach. The belt caused massive vibration. The lower wheel had...Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars Good value for home workshop, December 28, 2006
This review is from: DELTA 28-276 Professional 14-Inch 3/4-Horsepower Open Stand Woodworking Band Saw, 120-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement)
I bought this saw as a Christmas present for myself from Lowe's.
I did have a problem with assembling the legs, but only because it seemed that they should be bolted to the inside of the frame; after enough inspection, I realized they went on the outside of the frame. After that, everything went smoothly.
On startup, there was a lot of vibration. But, I let the saw run a while and the vibration settled down. It turned out to be that the belt needed to lose its curled shape in order to run smooth. Again, after 10 or 15 minutes of running, it settled down.
Instructions were clear for assembly as well as set up.
You will immediately want to purchase one high-quality blade for re-saw, and one high-quality blade for tight radius cuts.
The saw does not come with a fence or miter gauge. I don't see that as a negative:
- there is such a wide range in the quality and price of fences that I would rather decide for myself if I want a simple, low dollar...Read more
