Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Wilton 99162 9-Inch Benchtop 15 Amp 1/3-Horsepower Benchtop Woodworking Band Saw with Lamp (Tools & Home Improvement)
I thought I was getting a Wilton quality tool but it appears to be just another private labeled one made in China. Hard to get adjusted from directions but with the help of a skilled friend who has similar unit, I now get a smoother cut

A little disappointed,
This review is from: Wilton 99162 9-Inch Benchtop 15 Amp 1/3-Horsepower Benchtop Woodworking Band Saw with Lamp (Tools & Home Improvement)
Daughter sent a gift coupon for Christmas and added extra for the band saw.
Found the table not square as the fence will loosen from one side to the other. Blade tracking not consistent. Furnished blade will want to wander to the right. I will task to correct or modify in order not to disappoint her. She thought she did so good.

Eh, It's nothing to write home about.,
This review is from: Wilton 99162 9-Inch Benchtop 15 Amp 1/3-Horsepower Benchtop Woodworking Band Saw with Lamp (Tools & Home Improvement)
Purchased one of these for work in a small lab. For what we use it for, it's okay, but it would definitely not be the tool of choice for a serious craftsman. The stock guides are basically just bronze guide blocks, with a bearing at the back edge of the blade, all could stand to be upgraded, which I believe the way it's designed that is possible to do. Out of the box the table was not square to the blade, but wouldn't really expect it to be. Having the light built ito the base is a nice touch, also being able to lock the machine out easily is good if you have kids that might be around. The stock blade is probably a decent general purpose blade for softer materials, luckily it is a standard size so quality replacements are easy enough to find. The belt on the other hand is not so easily found.
Short of it is, for a home saw, you can probably get some good work out of it, but you really have to work with the set-up to get it "tuned" in.
