This tool is a star in my woodshop [Posted on 2006-02-01]
I own a Jet 10" left tilt arbor table saw and it is the center piece of my woodshop. I love that machine. So I thought I would try the Jet bandsaw to accompany it. Absolutely no regrets in buying this baby. It is awesome. I would highly recommend this saw for any home shop. I bought the riser block, but have not installed it yet. I also bought the mobile base but it has not arrived yet. Not sure why it takes HTC so long to ship it. I ordered it a month ago. When I get the base, it will be easier to move the saw around in the shop. The quality of this machine is excellent. Well worth the price paid.
Don't have deliveried [Posted on 2006-11-10]
I initially bought my saw through Amazon. The first time there was delivery damage which Amazon responded to very quickly. The second delivery was also damaged. Again Amazon took back the damaged unit and credited my account very promply but declined to try again. Both times the base was damaged. It is not packed as well as the other part of the machine and gets bent and damaged. I went to Woodcrafters and paid a little more but the machine was perfect. I bought it with all the add on's and was able to assemble the machine and install the add on's by my self but it was touch and go. I would definitly recommend having another pair of hands or rather strong backs when lifting the band saw onto the base. I love the machine but not the delivery problems although Amazon did stand behind it product without any hassles.
JET 7110115K JWBS-14DX Bandsaw [Posted on 2007-12-23]
Received on time in perfect condition with all parts. Some difficulty with alignment of drive pulley/motor adjustment. Some cussing was required. Blade supplied was of low quality as expected. I recommend not ever installing the blade provided to avoid temporarily having a bad impression of the saw. Micro adjustable guides work well and fence is a plus. Fence back-side adjustment is a little hairy to get just right, but worth the time to allow smooth side-to-side movement of the fence. Saw runs smooth and performs as advertised. Blade tension release is very nice and helps with blade change time. Blade tension gauge is useful and readable. Hinged doors are great. Set-up instructions are well written.
Jet JWBS-14DX Band Saw [Posted on 2008-01-31]
Great band saw. A lot of power comes out of the 1-1/4 HP motor. I needed help attaching the upper portion of the saw - HEAVY. A very solid piece of equipment. No vibration.
Quality, performance are as expected [Posted on 2008-02-25]
I've had this saw in service for about three months - home woodworking shop @ 4 or 5 evenings a week. Here's what I've determined: It vibrates with a 3/4 blade on it. But, I'm still tuning for that blade and am not ready to blame it on the saw. With a 1/4 blade it ran smoothly. It is a breeze to tune unless you put on the wide blade, and is pretty accurate right out of the box. On the other hand, with a 3/4 blade 3tpi, it will resaw and cut the hardest wood like it is butter. Lot of torque and power.
It does not have a tire brush, so it gets dirty undr the blade which leads to imbalance and vibration. You will need to install a homemade brush for a buck or two. This saw puts a ton of dust into the air if you don't put a dust control hose on it. It still puts a lot of sawdust out on the table and floor, even with a 650 cfm vacuum on it, exclusively. The saw i replaced had a different type of dust port and seemed to handle the sawdust better. Replacing blade is simple and quick, the doors stay open while you work on the blade instead of swinging shut on you like some other bandsaws. Accurate tilt on the table. Table locks down solid and true. It's quiet.
Ths only thing I don't like is the placement of the table tilt control knob. It's under the table, one on each side of the table. It is right in the way of the lower guides. In other words, you have to take the knob off to tune or vacuum the lower blade guide assembly.
I recommend the saw. It will do what it's advertised to do and then some. It's worth the bucks. Amazon delivery was fantastic and on time.
