I have had this 7 x 12 inch band saw from Busy Bee for over 8 years.
Like the previous review buy the Bimetal blade when you buy the saw.
For the little extra they are well worth it.
The coolant feature is good to use only if you have a large number of large pieces to cut.
This saw works great and the wheels make it easy to roll away after use.
Here is a suggestion for a small upgrade.
The cut off stop cannot be used for cutting off small pieces of metal less than 2 inches as the tightening screw is in the way of the machine. So what you do is drill a hole through the other side ( use a drill bit size that just fits tight through existing tapped hole, I used size M )and tap the hole with a 5/16 inch NC18 tap and place the tightening screw on the other side. Then you can cut off small pieces if you are doing a large number of cut-offs all the same size less than 2 inches . I had to cut 32 pieces 7/8 of an inch in length.

Had this machine for almost 1 year and its been an excellent addittion to the shop. Its performed well from the start and still cutting like day 1. I recommend the bi-metal blades from busy bee only, they are good for the price and much better than the regular blades.
