Hydraulic Horizontal Vertical Cutting Metal Bandsaw W/stand

Comment: I don't know what the first review is talking about but I bought this wonderful machine from Proline Trading about a year ago and I LOVED it and STILL do. The shipping was flawless. I received my packages without any damages. Though it is made from China, I really don't care. I get what I pay for. I saved a whole LOT of $$$ too. BTW, Harbor Freight also sell this machine and it is ALSO made in China and it cost 300$$ more....So that doesn't make any sense if you tell other buyers to buy something more expensive for the same quality.... anyway, GREAT MACHINE, GREAT CUSTOMER SERVICE. I would buy from PRO-LINE Trading Corp. again.

Comment: This is certainly a beautiful piece of junk. First of all some screws were missing. Then, when going to mount the saw to the stand, you can only put three bolts in. The fourth does not line up--you can barely see the corner of the hole. The handle was broken for the vise. The vise does not work properly. The bottom of the motor was rubbing and had to be removed and bent out. We could not lift the saw up as it was rusted and frozen, so we had to spray WD-40 on the hinge until finally it released. After all of this, it was discovered it did not have enough power to cut even soft aluminum or a small piece of steel. The saw was taken to a shop that repairs electrical motors and found that the motor could easily be stopped by hand--it had no power whatsoever. Therefore the motor must be defective as it is the same motor used and sold on other saws. I was just lucky enough to get one that is defective. The supplier has without hesitation offered a 100% refund--the problem is the thing came strapped on a crate, and weighs several hundred pounds. It would cost another $300.00 to ship it back to California as shipping is not covered under the warranty. I am extremely disappointed--if you want a Chinese band saw, buy it from Habor Freight or someplace you can return it. I was expecting a much better saw.

Update: I spent $250.00 for a brand new motor--the saw now works but not very well. I still classify it as an absolute piece of junk which I took a severe loss on.
