Summary: Will never buy a Jet product again. 2007-04-30
Comment: Extremely disappointing. Workmanship was horrible. 1 blade door latch did work. Blade does not flow through center of table, it is very off center and not adjustable. Speed adjustment is a cumbersome 2 person job as it is impossible to tension the belts adequately by pressing down on the motor while securing the retention bolts. Riser installed crooked and not fixable. Blade rubs against return channel (made of plastic.) Descending blade guide poorly manufactured and cumbersome to adjust. Blade guides made of plastic blocks instead of metal wheels. Also arrived in with significant dent in base which chipped off a 1 cm sq of paint. I find myself using my $150 Craftsman bench top band saw whenever possible to avoid using this disappointing yet expensive purchase. The much cheaper Craftsman bench top saw has MUCH higher manufacturing standards. Will never buy a Jet product again.
