Great bandsaw for husband's needs
Rating: 5
My husband loves his new bandsaw. He needed a 2nd bandsaw so he wouldn't need to keep changing blade sizes. We received it 1 day late but were kept informed of delivery. He actually likes this band saw better then the one he already had because of the ease of changing the blade when he needs too.

Great for the money
Rating: 5
This is a hobby band saw great for cutting out little wood cars. This is not a pro bandsaw this is a 110 dollar bandsaw. For the money you get a lot. No not heavy duty but great for hobby work. Takes the best from other cheap bandsaws and makes this saw.

Unboxing = Unhappy
Rating: 1
Just put this together. The one I received will not latch on the bottom of the side that opens, so I have to take it back. In addition, there was a random bearing loosely floating in the box, so I'm a bit worried!

The saw cuts though the metal project I was working on as expected. Nice tool.

Excellent tool
Rating: 5
This tool is a workhorse, definitely my go to anytime I'm looking for a Band Saw in the future. The cutting edge is precise and it slices through metal like its hot butter left out at a cookout. Would definitely get this brand in the future.
