Don't waste the gas to drive to the store.

Bought this saw and the screws that held the motor pulley ro the drive wheel stripped out after 10 cuts on a pine 4X4.  It goes back tommorrow.

Really cuts those fine cuts

Easy to assemble and cuts clean once set up properly. Surprised at how easy it is to follow the instructions and get the blade properly adjusted.

I would recommend this product to a friend.

What a great deal on a very good bandsaw!

Great little band saw. Only a couple of small things to complete after you receive it. Cut smooth and stays on the line when cutting. Has several adjustments to make sure you get the best possible cut. One of my BEST BUYS ever, thanks Sears Craftsman.

Not as advertised

The description on-line clearly states that the saw is powered by a 1/3 hp motor. It is not; the motor is only 1/4 hp. The saw appears to be well-designed and assembled, but the cast aluminum table is warped. It is not flat from side-to-side. Blade tracking is good; easily adjustable as are the blade guides.
