Good band saw
Rating: 5
This is a really nice band saw. I have used it a lot even though I just got it. I recommend it.

Cutting aluminum nicely
Rating: 5
This band saw works perfectly for my needs. I had to make many adjustments to just get it running, but nothing too difficult. I bought an 18 tooth blade and I'm cutting aluminim with no problem.

My Band Saw
Rating: 5
Terrific little saw just wish I would have gone for the 12 inch size now. There are a lot of things my little saw won't do because of the size of the material.

Skil 9” Bandsaw
Rating: 5
Takes an hour to assemble, is easy to adjust and use. It is sturdy. Great value for your money. I would buy it again.

Good saw for the money
Rating: 4
Nice little bandsaw for the price. You really have to spend some time getting it all adjusted properly but it works very well, especially with a higher quality blade than the one supplied with the saw. My biggest complaint is that the vacuum port is a non standard size!

Only needs one improvement.....
Rating: 4
The construction and the specifications seems to be the same as the competitors. The only thing the skil had that the other did not was the led light. The light is a joke. I am going to attempt to remove the outer lens so the light actually shines through.

Great little saw
Rating: 4
Seems to work well. I have only cut some test pieces so far. Make sure you do some minor adjustments before using. Centering and squaring blade etc.

Blades are very weak, keeps falling .

Garbage,I advise not to buy
Rating: 1
it is useless, it is so flimsy that when u start cutting the material the band saw flexes and band comes off. Its either fiberglass or plastic

Fantastic axe
Rating: 5
I use this for splitting timber at home and it does a great job. Little to no jarring of the hands and wrists (I have carpal tunnel in both wrists so this is important). It's well balanced and slices though smaller pieces like a hot knife through butter. Splitting wood by hand is actually fun now

I didnt think they could improve the axe, but sure have.
Rating: 5
These axes are unreal, lightweight, nicely balanced and split the knottiest timber. Once you have had one of these axes, you wouldn't go back to the old kind....cost a bit but worth every penny.
