Customers have mixed opinions about the size of the saw. Some mention that it's the perfect size for the job they are working on, taking up much less space than their table saw yet delivering twice as much punch.

18 customers mention4 positive14 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the vibration of the saw. They mention that the blade shakes when working, the saw wobbles, and the wheel is twitchy. The blade also tends to ride the edge of the wheels and rubs against it. Additionally, some customers report that the saw is not usable due to the vibration.

"...With no blade installed, the unit vibrates significantly, because the lower wheel is out of round...." Read more

"...that the upper aluminum wheel was out of run, which made the blade wiggle sideways and the tension adjustment go up and down; forget about tight..." Read more

"...When you adjust them correctly, they make that horrible rubbing noise only when you are twisting the blade too much, but normally keep the blade in..." Read more

"...They are very smooth and seem well balanced. On test runs there was no wobble...." Read more

Best of the 9 inch saws

Best of the 9 inch saws
What I really wanted was a good 14 inch saw; what I could justify spending right now was around a hundred bucks or so. Some years ago I had a 9 inch Delta-labeled saw that was absolutely worthless and had nothing in common with the better Delta saws, and that made me hesitate- could you even buy a usable saw in that price range? There are at least a half dozen different inexpensive hobbyist bandsaws on the market right now, and I hoped that at least one of them was usable. I spent a lot of time reading reviews here and elsewhere before deciding.The general consensus seems to be that the Central Machinery 9" saw, which is sold under various names, is the best of the bunch. It has a tubular steel frame (the cheapest saws have a cast alloy frame), and that alone suggested it would be more solid than the little Delta. It also has a spring blade tensioning system, a 1/2HP motor, belt drive (the cheapest use direct drive), and a lot of adjustability. You can even adjust the lower wheel bearing if necessary, though mine came not needing any tweaking. I looked at the Harbor Freight version, which is currently on sale and would cost less than the Powertec labeled version, but a trip to an HF store and a number of reviews convinced me that Powertec has better quality control.I ended up buying a used, "Like New" unit, which saved me $15 off the regular price. As far as I can tell, it hasn't been used at all. It looks like someone opened the box and sealed it back up again. I unpacked the saw and temporarily clamped it to the top of my work bench. It took me about 20 minutes to assemble, mount the blade, adjust the blade guides, and give it a test run, and it cut smoothly in 1" oak without difficulty. I don't have a dial indicator to check for runout, but I don't detect any excessive vibration or wobble in the blade. As one reviewer noted, the blade guides are steel pins, which are not my first choice, but if you take your time and don't push too hard they shouldn't be a problem. I certainly wouldn't try to resaw planks with it, or cut tropical hardwood boards much thicker than a 2" or so. I also ordered Powertec 3/8" 6tpi blade along with my saw, as most of my sawing involves long straight cuts on narrow pieces of hardwood. Blade changeover was easy, thanks to the blade tension lever, and the 3/8" blade cut much straighter and faster. I'd recommned buying one along with this saw.If I was a serious woodworker I'd probably give it a pass and buy a larger Jet, but for my purposes- mostly bowmaking and some musical instrument work- it should be fine. If you understand its limitations, it's not a bad bandsaw for the money.

leí varias reseñas para comprarla y si confirme la reseña de un cliente con el tema de que viene con la base chueca, pero al parecer no le afecta la función solo la voy a calzar para montarla a una base o un carrito de madera. o con la apretada de tornillos espero se enderece, no la regreso pq considero es buena herramienta con un buen precio.
compre por separado la guía para corte recto queda perfecto pero es algo débil por el precio alrededor de los 700 pesos mexicanos.
y las cintas de diferente medida están a buen precio.
