Features
Designed to provide consistent performance even after years of heavy use, the Jet 414458 HVBS-56M band saw offers a heavy-duty 14-gauge stand with two large wheels and a built-in handle for easy movement. Its front legs provide level and accurate cuts thanks to adjustable leveling pads. With its 1/2-horsepower motor, the 414458 can easily cut through aluminum to steel. To help prevent accidents or loss of control, the saw automatically shuts off after each cut.

You can set the speed at 80, 120, and 200 feet per minute--whichever best suits your materials and job. For added durability and longevity, the saw features a ball bearing-supported blade wheel, fully adjustable ball bearing blade guides, and a heat-treated and ground steel worm gear with bronze drive gear. It's backed by a two-year limited warranty.

Fix: used air grinder to grind cross brace hole wider. 2) Instructions for the installing the adust. feet were vague. Just says use "provided hardware". Fix: used my incredible powers of observation and deduction to determine what goes where. 3) The leg cross brace opposite of motor has an interference problem w/switch box. Fix: ground the cross brace to form a notch to clear switch box.

Don't know why Amazon put that there. (Stupid!) I'm a hobby machinist.I compared several different Asian made 5x6 bandsaws. Don't believe it when someone tells you they're all the same. The Jet was very easy to assemble and use. Very solid base. UL approved motor that is bigger than some other bandsaws have. Nice fit-and-finish. Some other ones I checked on needed to have additional bracing added due to a flimsy base. I had read about some of the others having motors prone to overheating and meltdown. Bought mine locally for $249.99. Don't understand how Amazon can charge a $70 premium. Around $250 seems to be everyone's prices except Amazon. $319.99! Ridiculous! 7 of 7 people found the following review helpful:  good saw mediocre stand, This review is from: Jet 414458 HVBS-56M 5-by-6-Inch 1/2 HP Horizontal/Vertical Bandsaw (Tools & Home Improvement) For what it does and the price it is a good value. Important to keep it maintained with periodic lubrication or it will seize and the blades is likely to break. Good idea to get at least one extra blade as they break without warning and long before the teeth are worn down. The cut-off switch works well so you can start it cutting and walk away to do something else. For almost any length of stock you will need a separate support for it. Unfortunately the height of the cutting bed is lower than any roller stand I have found so I ended up putting the bandsaw on a couple pieces of OSB to raise it a couple of inches. The stand is barely able to support the weight of the cast iron saw and is the real weak point of the bandsaw. A stronger and taller stand would be nice and it will be one my next projects. The stand that comes with the bandsaw is barely strong enough to support the wheels as the bandsaw is wheeled into position. |
