Saw performance
Very happy with the saw. Shop set was minimal and factory adjustments were dead on. Cutting capacity will more than meet our needs

Great Saw
Have now had this saw for close to two years now. Original blade was not good and I replaced it with a BB bi-metal blade. If you're looking for a good saw at a reasonable price, take a good look at this one. I doubt you'd go wrong with one.

Owned for over 5 years and still working great
Bought this over 5 years ago. After many blades, still cutting great. Make sure you make alignments of the blade and tracking before you start to use this machine. It will save you a lot of cussing. Very well built and should last a lifetime if not abused.

Awsome
Love it! I got the bandsaw a few weeks ago. Bought the bi-metal blade for it right away too. Great machine, great price.

Great bandsaw
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.

Very happy so far
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.
