Latest Reviews	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. by Wkak on 2019-12-15T16:00:00 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. by Ted B on 2020-05-10T17:00:00 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. by Woody Carnahan on 2020-05-18T17:00:00 Excellent equipment Rating: 5 Easy set up and assembly. Sid construction and proper safe guards for good safe operation. by on 2020-09-10T17:00:00 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. by HarveyP on 2020-05-06T17:00:00 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! by on 2020-09-24T17:00:00 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. by light need improvement on 2020-06-05T17:00:00 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. by Bob C on 2020-07-07T17:00:00 Rating: 2 Blades are very weak, keeps falling . by evelia on 2020-09-20T17:00:00 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 by NELSON on 2020-04-10T17:00:00	Nice tool Rating: 5 The saw cuts though the metal project I was working on as expected. Nice tool. by Dan on 2020-08-14T17:00:00 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. by luke on 2020-07-19T17:00:00 Rating: 5 by Joel on 2020-10-16T17:00:00 Rating: 5 by Eb on 2020-04-12T17:00:00 Rating: 3 by 25morgan on 2020-06-11T17:00:00
