4.0 out of 5 stars Nice machine, but don't overload it!, June 2, 2000

It's a cute little bandsaw, but it's motor doesn't have a lot of oomph! And the drive pulley is not well affixed to the motor shaft. Just because a thick chunk of seasoned oak fits under the blade guide doesn't mean that it will cut well...and if you jam the blade, you may wind up freewheeling the drive pulley, which is not well affixed to the motor shaft (I thought I'd fried the motor, but found that the pulley was slipping)

4.0 out of 5 stars Band Saw, August 27, 2000

A Kid's Review

This review is from: Delta 28-150 9-Inch Bench Band Saw (Tools & Home Improvement)

This is a great product for the beginning woodworker. It is a very quiet machine and I am very pleased with it. However, while ripping boards with the rip fence, the blade always tends to wander to the left side of the blade guide and it gets very annoying. I can never make a 90 degree cut properly with the rip fence. This tool is recommended for use mostly with projects that have slightly curved edges. The built in lamp is an excellent add-on. Overall, it is a nice little band saw. A great idea for a kid's first machine.

I have never used a band saw until I bought this one. In fact it was a toss up between it and a scroll saw since I couldn't afford both. I do a limited amount of scroll type work and so far the saw works fine. I want to try the 1/8 inch blade but haven't had a chance yet. The band saw is very well made, quiet, almost no vibration. The instructions for truing up the table and adjusting the blade, were a simple step by step approach. While I don't claim to push it to the limit, I have been very satisfied a do not anticipate any problems. I like it.
