Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Whether replicating trim for an old Victorian house or resawing four-by stock to build furniture, Delta's made-in-the-USA 14-inch band saw is striking for its overall smart design. For starters, the saw has nine-spoke wheels--as opposed to the more common six-spoke design--that deliver more accurate tension, minimizing blade vibration. The heavy-duty cast-iron trunnions likewise minimize vibration to the blade. The saw's 1-1/2-horsepower induction motor delivers impressive powerful, smooth, quiet performance. It's perfect for curve cutting, but the saw isn't going to bog down when ripping hardwoods, either. The lower blade guide on this saw rests only 3/4 inch below the table, which greatly minimizes deflection in the blade and provides cleaner cuts. The large 14-by-14-inch table provides plenty of support for workpieces. The smart features don't stop there, though. The saw's adjustment knobs are large and easy to operate. The hinged pulley cabinet makes it easy to access the wheel for blade adjustments and changes. The closed base reduces noise and keeps dust off the motor. To cap it off, the saw comes with fantastic extras, including a riser block, for extending the cutting capacity; two platinum pro blades (93-1/2 inch and 105 inch); and 4-inch and 2-inch dust connectors. --Jon Groebner

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome for Resawing, January 2, 2003

This review is from: Delta 28-299B D EditionD Saw with Riser Block, Dust Connectors, and 2 Blades (Tools & Home Improvement)

I used this bandsaw quite extensively in the last few days since receiving it, and it resaws tall boards of oak and mohagany like a hot knife through butter. Lots of power! This package comes with the riser block, and you will have to disassemble the saw to put it on, but it's not hard to do. This is my only beef, and it's not with the saw. Delta packages this as a "Limited Edition" with value added accesories, i.e the riser block, the 1/2 wide 105" blade, the fence, etc... Well one of the "value added" accessories is the 28-964 Platinum Pro Blade and comes already on the saw. I am sure that it is a fine blade, but the problem comes when you add the riser block (the only reason why you would order the B model), the blade won't fit because it's not 105" long! What a crock! Come on Delta that is pretty cheesey, and the only stain on an otherwise fine "Limited Edition" Outside of that you can't go wrong with this tool if you need to do accurate resaw work on thick and tall hardwoods. I also ordered Carter's Bandsaw bearings. Order those too you won't regret it. I immediately put them on the saw, and they are a big part of the saw's accuracy. I never even used the "blocks" that came with the saw.

So far I like everything about this saw.. I purchased it to resaw birdseye maple.. which it does VERY well... Its some tough wood.. but the 1 1/2 horse motor doesnt miss a beat. The fence isn't exceptional, but is certainly sufficient...I will certainly add additional Delta tools to my shop.. ...
