Cast Iron Frame for Powerful Performance

The rigidity of this newly redesigned frame also allows for even the toughest resawing jobs and saves you the hassle of using a riser block.

Thanks to its sturdy, 15 x 15-inch work table that's designed to tilt 10 degrees left and 45 degrees right, the JWBS-14DXPRO gives you the flexibility to meet the unique demands of each project. And with a height of 43.5 inches, the table ensures you can meet a range of woodworking jobs head-on.
Upper and Lower Ball Bearing Guides for Reduced Friction
The JWBS-14DXPRO's redesigned features lend incredible durability. Most significantly, upper and lower ball bearing guides help to reduce friction, which enhances blade performance and translates into longer blade life.
A Range of Features for Precision and Safety
An efficient poly-v belt drive system provides more precise results while giving you the choice of two speeds for better control. Additionally, a convenient quick release blade tension ensures flexibility and fast, effortless adjustments. There's also a blade guide post with rack and pinion adjustment for better accuracy, and an efficient high tension spring design for consistently powerful performance even after repetitive and long-term use.
Easy-View Window and Blade Guide Post for Safety
Safety is of utmost importance when working with spinning blades. That's why the JWBS-14DXPRO includes an easy-to-view blade tracking window. With this handy feature, you're always aware of the blade's position as you work.
Enclosed Stand for Better Organization
This band saw helps you keep track of materials and reduce clutter in your shop by featuring an enclosed stand with a handy storage shelf. There's also an easy-access door so you can quickly grab what you need and get back to work.
The JWBS-14DXPRO is backed by a five-year warranty.
About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.

I've retired after 36 years of helping thousands of youngsters find some direction in their life. I also do not consider myself more than average in creativity . .,but, thanks to my Dad (who operated a cabinet shop while I was growing up) I still have a yearning to produce functional, quality wood products. He was a "tough" teacher, but, now in my later years; I realize how much of a GENIUS he really was. The one thing he always held as paramount was this: To do the very best, you must have the right tools.
I was able to partially restore his old (at least 45 years old by now) Delta band saw, but there is only so much you can do with something of that age .. . .(hope my wife don't read this). Couldn't even find a decent belt . . had to find the closest in size and shim and shake, etc., to make it fit. Plus, getting it to cut anything over 3 inches thick (even with a new blade) was a chore. So, I began my research,...Read more 26 of 27 people found the following review helpful:  My Favorite Machine in the Shop, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: JET JWBS-14DXPR 14-Inch Deluxe Pro Band Saw Kit (Tools & Home Improvement) A good band saw has always been a favorite tool for me and this one so far has proved to be a good one, easy to set up, change blades, etc. This saw replaces an old INCA I've owned for many years and so far I'm excited about this new acquisition. I was a little disappointed because the picture showed a fence included and I didn't read the "In the box" info. That ended up working out just fine though because I then bought the KREG precision fence which coupled with this saw makes for a superb tool, (probably better than if it had come with the JET fence.)
I was happy to see the cast iron wheels instead of the cast aluminum ones I was expecting because I almost bought the POWERMATIC for that reason. I was sold on the built in, large re-saw capability of this saw and no-where in the web page blurb did it mention these wheels. Pleasant surprise and I look forward to many years of use. I didn't give this saw 5 stars only because JET tools are really solidly built...Read more 23 of 24 people found the following review helpful: 230 volt wiring notice!!, Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: JET JWBS-14DXPR 14-Inch Deluxe Pro Band Saw Kit (Tools & Home Improvement) IMPORTANT WIRING INFO FIRST: I like this saw very much BUT MY MANUAL CAME WITH AN INCORRECT DIAGRAM FOR WIRING TO 230 VOLTS!! It might be a waste of time to switch this to 230 volts, but if you choose to do so READ THIS. I don't know if all of the manuals have this misprint, but in my manual, on page 30 it shows to connect wires 1 and 2 with the white wire and wires 3 and 4 with black wire on the motor. This is NOT correct. I didn't do it so I can't tell you what will happen when wired like this, but I just got off the phone with Jet tech and it is confirmed that this in NOT correct. If you are converting to 230 Volts the CORRECT way is shown, at least in my manual, on page 11. The CORRECT way is to connect wires 2 and 3 together on the motor, then connect the white wire(which will be a hot wire, not a neutral, in a 230v setup) to wire 1 on the motor. Then connect the black wire(the other hot in a 230v setup) to wire 4 on the motor. Keep in mind that when wiring this for 230v...Read more |
