Amazon.com Review
Great for the small shop. Large table provides plenty of workspace. 6 inch height capacity. Dust protected, ¾ horsepower motor provides enough power to saw through the toughest of hardwoods. The fence set-up is easy and fast, not requiring a lot of separate parts and wrenches, simply place and adjust. This is a great unit and will fulfill virtually all of your band saw needs. 2-year warranty. -- Gabriel Shantara Ford

The JET wins the value game.,
This review is from: JET 708113A JWBS-14OS 14-Inch 3/4-Horsepower Open Stand Woodworking Band Saw with Graphite Alloy Guide Blocks, 115/230-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement)
Way-back-when the first really good small band saw came out we bought it and loved it (the R-brand which is now the D-brand). A while later JET came onto the market with a 14" but being reluctant to change something that wasn't broke we kept our R-brand for many more years. One day someone offered us a lot of gold for our whole woodshop and the old enclosed base band saw went with it. Later we started a new shop that produced models and prototypes for other shops. When outfitting the shop and generally being in like with our wallets slightly more than our machines we considered the JET 14" for the first time. After a few trials and a lot of jabber on the jungle telegraph we took the chance. At that time the open base was a new thing. While not as svelte looking as the enclosed base we soon found that it was easier to clean up after and we could store stuff underneath - valuable space for those once-in-awhile jigs. It also seemed to run quieter without those flat sheetmetal walls. About the only thing the D-brand has over the JET is the quality of the motor but that was not enough to convince us to part with the extra money. The JET 14" has very good everything else and is a valued piece of equipment in the shop. Of all the 14" saws it is clearly amongst the best - which is good as it is also one of the least expensive. Hints: Buy the frame extension - it does not weaken the frame measurably and you will enjoy the added working height. If you do not buy it now you will accumulate blades which will not fit if you buy it later. Use a 3" 45 degree PVC elbow modified to a clamshell to fit over the lower guide and blade to provide better dust extraction. Keeps the sawdust off the lower wheel. Wear safety glasses. Pay attention: this is not a machine where you want your attention wandering unless your goal is to receive disability payments. Somewhat enigmatically I still wish we had the closed base. It looks better.

Jet flameout,

This review is from: JET 708113A JWBS-14OS 14-Inch 3/4-Horsepower Open Stand Woodworking Band Saw with Graphite Alloy Guide Blocks, 115/230-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement)
I ordered this saw because I have an old JTAS-10XL table saw, (from the days when Jet products were US made and blue in color) which is an excellent precision machine. I also got 10% off and free shipping on the bandsaw.
The bandsaw has so far been a disaster. I received mine on May 22 and immediately found a table with 14 mil dish. I called the WMH Tool customer service and they sent me another in a week, 3rd day air: just as dished. Another call to Cust Svc, with a request that they get a Quality Control person to check stock to find a flat one. Well that took another 10 days, even 3rd day air, and the table was barely acceptable with a 6 mil dish. I still had to deburr the slot, though. Then I took the saw out of the box and put it together. Seemed to run ok, so I added the JRB-14 riser block kit and fence kit. All seemed to be going well enough until I tried to install the extended guide post that supports the upper blade guide and guard. No way! the saw frame and original guide post are 19mm diameter, but the one in the riser block kit is 22mm. Another call to WMH Cust Svc, with another request that someone measure the part, got a replacement guide post sent out, ups ground this time, and guess what: another 22mm guide post. Another call to WMH, and yet another 22mm guide post, this time the short one. Fourth call finally yielded the right part (!) Looks like the saw they sent me was old stock, which does not match up with the riser block kit any more. So! Now it's been 8 weeks since I got the saw, 9 calls to WMH, lots of aggravation, and I have two useless cast iron tables and three useless 22mm steel bars. The saw finally runs ok with the riser. It cuts curves well enough, but it ain't no resaw: bogs down on 8" beech with a new Olson blade. Other beefs: the stand is thin enough that the top flexes easily when using the saw, making the saw wiggle back and forth. The trunnion support casting is also weak enough to flex under load, so the table does not stay true to the blade. The riser block takes about an inch off the throat. The guide block adjustments are pretty cheesy (I wonder how long the guide adj. screw threads will last in that aluminum casting). I had to drill the fence to fit the saw table, and the fence has no adjustment for lead or drift. In summary, my admiration for Jet tools is gone. Even though this is a cheapie, they should do better with it or not try to sell the product. They are clearly having quality problems and do not have enough control over the changes in their product to be able to send out the right replacement parts. If I were to do this over, I would not buy Jet.

First bandsaw,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: JET 708113A JWBS-14OS 14-Inch 3/4-Horsepower Open Stand Woodworking Band Saw with Graphite Alloy Guide Blocks, 115/230-Volt 1-Phase (Tools & Home Improvement)
This is my first bandsaw. It's pretty solid and easy to assemble. It needed some tuning before using it to get it to cut right but once that was done it's working great. The picture Amazon shows is not the same design as the bandsaw I got, however. The motor is to the side and it's not a 2" dust chute but a 4" on the side of the saw.
