Summary: Mostly Cons. 2010-02-28
Comment: A real bummer! When I received the bandsaw a couple of small parts were missing and the blade guard and blade tension knob were badly damaged in shipping. Rather then going thru the hassle of returning it, I opted to contact the manufacturer and ask that the parts be replaced. The small missing parts were sent to me right away but the larger more important parts that had been damaged are still on backorder and I cannot use the saw util I get replacements. The guard could be jury rigged to work but, the blade tension knob makes the saw completely useless until it is replaced. The last time I contacted the manufacturer, they said they had a date of Mar 24, 2010 for them to receive the parts. After they receive them, who knows how long it will take for me to get them? I was further disgusted by the lack of any way to contact Amazon directly to discuss the problem with them. I think Amazon should make an effort to set up some sort of customer service contact, email or phone.

Summary: good saw mediocre stand 2009-10-11
Comment: 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.
