The 2.5 Amp motor rotates the included 1/4 in. blade at up to 2500 ft. per minute. The design of this saw uses 59-1/2 in. blades anywhere from 1/8 to 3/8 in. in width for both intricate and powerful cuts. The spacious work table measures in at 12-1/4 x 11-7/8 in. in size and can be beveled up to 45°. This package includes a miter gauge, an onboard 2-1/2 in. dust port, a fence for creating straight cuts, and an adjustable blade guard.

Saw works wonderfully just as I expected. Great even with inch thick cedar….you just have to be patient and work it to your advantage.

UPS didn’t beat-up the box. I unpacked the saw and everything was in perfect shape. There isn’t much that has to be put together. The table has some Chinese oil or grease on it which has to be cleaned off. I thought the table wasn’t quite as smooth as I would like so a little sanding with 320 grit and 800 grit and some Johnson’s paste made it very smooth. I just tried it out with a couple pieces of plywood and it cuts great, isn’t loud and had no noticeable vibration without it being bolted down. All in all, I am pleased…

Great starter Band Saw. Size and power capability great for DIY. Easy setup.

Lightweight; nonetheless very substantial. Only lack I see is there are no “feet” attached. Several pre-drilled holes permit mounting to a rigid surface. If you prefer isolation pads, they readily can be adapted.Work table is appropriately sized and nicely finished. Locks securely. Good range of tilt. The guide fence can be locked askew. (So you can make a bevel sled for oblique cuts.) Check it with a try square lest you assume it is parallel to blade. The miter gauge is secure and rides smoothly in the rabbeted table. Upper and lower access doors open quickly with cam lock knobs. The power switch is well guarded. Both blade tension and table tilt adjustment have lock-down features. This maintains adjustments reliably.The blade guide adjusts throughout the range of cutting depth. It’s rack gear operation is a plus. This idler permits proper blade face pressure to be applied and maintains the kerf path through the material. It, too, has a locking feature.The lower wheel is fully adjustable and its traction surface appears to be of good quality. The dust collector port is a nice provision.All the knobs are easily manipulated. The safety and dust guards completely enclose the necessary components. All adjustments are readily accessible. The instruction book and parts list is clear. Company contact information is provided.All-in-all, this machine has all the features of the ‘big boys.’I’ve cut softwoods and hardwoods, common plastics and some of the softer non-ferrous metals. I’m anxious to experiment with finer tooth pitch blades (and possibly a rheostat) to extend its use to composite plastics, sheet metal and gasket materials, and perhaps rubber and high density foam.

Strong and compact, very easy to use and adjust, what took me a long time to finish takes only minutes with the wen band saw, very low price, It is more versatile than my table saw or my miter saw, I should have bought this long ago. One of the best purchases I ever made.

The good news:It’s easy to setup. I could have ignored the addendum to the instructions as my blade was already taught. The table assembly was trivial to set up, maybe 3 minutes tops). Everything fit and felt solid. I checked the angles and everything was right without much (if any) adjustments. Looking at how to switch the blade, it looks easy. The instructions are good with step by step diagrams. When cutting “low thickness” pieces, it sings with speed an accuracy. “low thickness” = 1/4″ to 1.5″ (what I’ve done so far).The bad news:This may just be MY expectations but I wanted to slice 2×4 (actual 2×3.5) cedar (soft wood) into 1/4″ slices along the 3.5″ axis. To give you an example, the work piece was 2×3.5 in with a 6″ length. about 2″ in, it started to slow down. About 3″ in, it stopped. I don’t mean smoke and/or groans, no, I mean just slowed down and stopped. I could complete the job, but I would have to go comically slow (I timed 75 seconds to push through a 6″ length of cedar) AND would have to stop from time to time when the blade started to slow down. I looked to see if I could speed up the motor but i didn’t find anything so it may not be an option.Overall:As long as you don’t want to make box sides or cut 3″ wide softwood, this is great. It doesn’t make much noise and has a standard size dust extraction port, so if that’s what you’re looking for… stop looking. For anything else, I would spend the extra money and get something else.I’m not going to return it as it meets more than 50% of my needs, but, I wouldn’t buy it again.
