Designed to meet the demands of serious woodworkers, the Jet JWBS-18QT 710751B 18-inch, 3-horsepower band saw impresses with its innovative triangular design frame. Rigid and stable for precision and control you can count on, this band saw features an exclusive quick-release, precision T-square-style rip fence and a three-position quick tensioner to accommodate a wide variety of jobs.

Thanks to both a triangular design frame for superior column rigidity and a 19-square-inch precision ground cast-iron table that tilts 10 degrees left and 45 degrees right for additional stability, the 710751B lets you tackle both smaller and large-scale projects with flexibility and control. The triangular column design reduces rotational twist by 65 percent versus the traditional square column design. The curved-face, all-steel cabinet doors also increase the 710751B's rigidity, with the doors overlapping the cabinet openings with a special sealing strip that helps to contain the dust.
The 710751B has a 12-1/4-inch resaw capacity for cutting large pieces of wood, slicing through veneers, and cutting book matched panels at a blade speed of 3,000 SPFM. And thanks to the quick-release blade tensioning with two settings, you can better keep each job on track. One setting releases cutting tension and a second release setting allows for fast and easy blade changes. And the all-cast-iron hand wheels make smooth, easy blade adjustments with less effort.
By helping to prevent dust or debris from blocking your view of materials, the four-inch dust port can make your space cleaner and your work more productive. For added convenience, this port also lets you connect a dust collection system directly to it without the need for additional parts. The precision computer-balanced, eight-spoke wheels also help eliminate vibration for accurate blade tracking.
The 710751B offers time-saving features, including a tool-less, independently adjustable ball bearing guide system for quick and easy adjustments and smooth operation, and a single knob tracking adjustment to simplify the blade-tracking process.
To help ensure on-the-job safety, a blade-tracking window and light-colored tire provide a clear view of the blade during tracking, and dual locking cabinet doors allow quick access to the blade when necessary. The 710751B is backed by a five-year limited warranty.

This review is from: JET JWBS-18QT-3 18-Inch 3-Horsepower 1PH Band Saw with Quick Tensioning lever (Tools & Home Improvement) Order could not have gone better, shipped right away, came in a few days. Packing was big, on a skid but really packaged right, crated all the way around and looked perfect when I got her. The saw set up easily, came together in about 3 hours, table was flat, blade tracked perfectly and all in all was easy to set up. After fooling around with it, did some 10" resawing, came out nice, flat, comes with good blade. Did the trick just out of the box. It should take some time to break in, the saw is very powerful 3hp cuts right through anything. Really nice, like all the features, very well made, great power switch, wish all my Jet saws had this type. With a HTC mobile base, moves around the shop easily and does what I need it to do, cut down turning stock and resawing big 10-12"planks. Good going jet and amazon, could not beat the free shipping! 1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: JET JWBS-18QT-3 18-Inch 3-Horsepower 1PH Band Saw with Quick Tensioning lever (Tools & Home Improvement) I purchased this saw to replace a Grizzly GO555 "Ultimate Band Saw". Couldn't be happier with the Jet saw. I very seldom used the Grizzly BS, opting for working out a way to make cuts with one of my fixed circular saws (table saw or miter saw) or my Bosch jig saw. . . now with the jet saw, I am looking for new ways to use it!
The assembly and set up on this saw were exactly what one would expect. I am able to make measured cuts with the fence scale almost as accurate as my Powermatic PM2000. I needed to cut a bevel cut for a French cleat and used the bandsaw. Results were accurate and the setup for the bevel was simpler. I roughed out some White Oak that has been drying in my turning room for about 18 months. The blocks were about 16x16x12. Using a "woodturners BS blade the cuts were easy and the blanks came out "right" and lathe ready. I resawed some African Mahogany for some display stands and except for my mistakes in centering the cuts, came out good...Read more 7 of 12 people found the following review helpful: This review is from: JET JWBS-18QT-3 18-Inch 3-Horsepower 1PH Band Saw with Quick Tensioning lever (Tools & Home Improvement) We purchased the 1 ¾ HP version of this saw, otherwise the same unit, with the intention of using it for light to medium duty resaw work. After installing a high quality blade and setting up the saw we were disappointed the machine had a bad vibration. It turns out there was severe runout in the upper wheel, measured with a dial indicator to be more than 0.125". Others here have reported the same problem, NO GOOD. We thought we'd get around to calling Jet to swap the bad wheel for a new one, but work and other projects got in the way so we got busy using other tools instead. The machine sat collecting dust and unused for a while... Until a nice batch of 12/4 x 8" to 10" cherry came through our shop. With a new 3/4" 3 tpi blade we tuned and fired up the Jet but only after a few cuts the motor smoked and tripped the breaker. We took it apart to find the windings fried. Unfortunately the cheap Taiwan motor has NO THERMAL PROTECTION...Read more |
