I recently purchased the Shop Fox 14" saw to add versatility to my shop. The Shop Fox is heavy and well built. The cast iron wheels and 1 HP motor have effortlessly resawn several feet of black walnut. I've also cut veneer sheets from pecan that you could actually see light through. I spent about 2 hours setting up the saw, using the instructions in the manual. The saw required only minimal adjustments and those have not drifted at all in the last 6 weeks of use. I have used 1/8", 1/4", 3/8" and 1/2" blades so far, all with no tracking problems or other issues. Blade changes are straight-forward and adjusting the guides is simple, but the lower guides are hard to reach unless you get down under the table. It's still not too bad and the adjustments are logically laid out. A riser is available that provides an additional 6" re-saw capability. I can recommend this saw to anyone. 10 of 10 people found the following review helpful: SHOP FOX W 1706, This review is from: Shop Fox W1706 14-Inch Bandsaw With Cast Iron Wheels (Tools & Home Improvement) I have had this saw for three years and have used it weekly as a weekend warrior. It is a permanent fixture in the shop and has proved to be very reliable. It is marketed lower than grizzly but has exceeded my expectations as my friend bought grizzly at same time. I use as resaw and have tested the everything from oak to walnut and it performs flawlessly. Drift is so low that I kept rechecking my work when first bought.
Pluses very well built with solid wheels Practically true out of the box has held up strong under humid conditions extras such as riser and under storage is a huge benefit 4" built in dust control is standard 3 of 4 people found the following review helpful:  Great saw, By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: Shop Fox W1706 14-Inch Bandsaw With Cast Iron Wheels (Tools & Home Improvement) As a mechanical engineer I consider the set up instructions very limited, somewhat vague and confusing. Assembly and set up was very lenghtly, however once completed I consider the saw to be a great asset in my small shop. Prior to purchasing I researched band saws extensivly and I would recommend a Shop Fox as a very good general purpose saw. |
