When I read about the saw I thought, yeah, that is a nice feature to have and smartly done.
However, in use it is far less appealing than it seems on paper. The first problem is that the fit and finish of this saw seems like typical cheap Chinese junk. A lot of the time with tools you get what you pay for... a cheaply sold tool tends to be cheaply made. I thought a Japanese company would avoid this but I was wrong. The fit and finish shows itself when you attempt to square up the blade to the table. The first problem I encountered after squaring it up was that all my cuts were slightly off 90 degrees. I couldn't understand it, until I got around to checking the angle of the blade on either side. The table is either warped or milled poorly, meaning that there is roughly 1 degree bend in it centered around the slot cut...Read more 15 of 15 people found the following review helpful:  Good band saw - but watch out, By jpa (Sparks, NV) - See all my reviews This review is from: Hitachi CB6Y 10-inch Tilting Head Bandsaw with Dust Collection (Tools & Home Improvement) Saw works well, and the tilting head (vice table) works really well. BUT - can't find any blades for it!!! 63.5 inch blade is on nobody's list and local stores (Home Despot and Lowes) don't have anything close. Light for blade seems like an after thought as it does not shine on the cutting area, and there is no provision for attaching a fence to the table. Other than that it works and the dust collection works pretty good, but I'm going to hook it up to my big dust collector. 25 of 29 people found the following review helpful:  Decent Saw, This review is from: Hitachi CB6Y 10-inch Tilting Head Bandsaw with Dust Collection (Tools & Home Improvement) It's a good saw for the money. You have to shop around for blades and keep spares on hand because you're not going to find them at the Big Box. Even though it's a "bench top" saw it's heavy. Mine is mounted on a fixed base. It tracks straight and has decent power. The cast iron table is a nice thing to have one a budget saw. It is a three wheel saw but I don't think it'll be a problem. The blade tensioner is a nice touch, too. The tilting head feature is great. I never cared for tilting the table on a band saw because it just seemed awkward. I would like the saw to tilt maybe 15 degrees in the opposite direction so I could cut dove tails. |
