Get the Rip Fence on Ebay
This is a great little saw, but without a fence it is hard to do a straight cut. Fortunately there is a third-party fence available for it on Ebay that solves that problem.

Does the job
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Easy setup, getting the saw itself to seat on the top half of the wheels was a bit difficult, but does its job well.

Great features and very versatile
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Got this a few weeks ago. Makes cutting wood fast and easy . Powerful enough to cut 2x4"s fast. Table tilts to cut angles makes it more versatile to use. I would recommend this table top band saw to anyone. Great features , easy to use.

Fine for first time bandsaw
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Fine for a beginner. Not a fan of the blade guides. They were on a slight angle to the blade making it difficult to adjust them.

Disappointed in the design - small details matter
Looking for low cost saw to handle pieces to small for table saw. First thing I noticed was the "toy-like" plastic miter gauge - STRIKE ONE. I thought "OK - I'll use my table saw gauge" - Nope. The table miter guide track will not accommodate a standard gauge - too narrow and no "T" notch. Seriously? STRIKE TWO. Next, I noticed blade guides are just metal travel limits. Poor design. Should be rear thrust bearing plus 2 side bearings to control blade drift - STRIKE THREE. Go with GRIZZLY G0803Z.

Not much fum to use
Tried to type up a full review of the problems with thrust bearings and un-even throat plates but it didn't post. Tired of returning them since it's am obvious design flaw. Will try and post again but maybe bad reviews don't get processed... Buy at your own risk because I have more time invested with messing with the flaws and returning them and putting them together than I have actually using it!

Perfection!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It's a wonderful machine, excelent components and amazing results for this price.
Remember when you could cut through 5 in. metal pipes with ease. The WEN 5 in. Metal-Cutting Benchtop Bandsaw makes easy work of brass, aluminum, copper, steel and more. Cut pipes up to 5 inches in diameter or rectangular materials up to 5 x 4-7/8 in. size. Variable speed operation allows for blade rotation anywhere from 125 ft. to 260 ft. per minute to help ensure the perfect cut on a variety of sizes and materials. The compact design makes transportation and storage simple, giving you access to a powerful and rugged machine at both the job site and at home. The onboard vise provides a firm grasp on your workpiece. Combine this with the beveling blade to create angled cuts anywhere from 0 to 60°. Make 45° cuts up to 3-1/8 in. Dia for circular material and 3-1/8 in. x 3-15/16 in. for square material. Ball bearing blade guides provide a long lifespan and reliable operation while onboard blade tension and tilt knobs make for easy adjustments and tweaks between jobs. The WEN 5 in. Metal-Cutting Benchtop Bandsaw also features a pre-installed 56-1/2 in. x 1/2 in. blade and a 4.5 Amp motor. And because it is a WEN product, your metal-cutting bandsaw comes backed by a two-year warranty, a nationwide network of skilled service technicians and a friendly customer help line. Remember when you could cut through over 24 sq. in. of steel in a single pass? Remember WEN.
The Grizzly G0803 that was awarded as Top Value by Wood Magazine for its combination of features including an efficient 1/3 HP motor, heavy-duty feel and portability has been upgraded with a new laser guidance system and adjustable blower to provide superior cutting visibility. The G0803Z 9 in. Benchtop Bandsaw with Laser Guide features a 62 in. blade and accepts blades from 1/8 in. to 3/8 in. wide. It can cut pieces up to 3-5/8 in. high and has enough power to cut through green woods and other dense materials. The rack-and-pinion table tilt system makes it easy to cut beveled edges. The blade guard is also rack-and-pinion making adjustment an easy one-handed operation. The quality design and construction of the G0803Z assures easy, accurate cuts including fine detailed cuts without the vibration found in other benchtop models. Blade tensioning is quick with a rotation of a lever to release or re-tension the blade. Blade tracking adjustments are simple as turning the respective blade adjustment knob. For a full range replacement and resaw blades for the G0803Z, shop here. The small footprint and top handle make moving the bandsaw around your workspace easier. The saw weighs less than 50 lbs. so you can also effortlessly move it between your home, shop or job site.
Remember when you had a saw that was both compact and powerful. The WEN 9 in. Benchtop Band Saw attacks boards with cuts up to 3-1/2 in. D and 9 in. W. The 2.8 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 in. 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 with ball-bearing supports. Ball-bearings give the blade smooth operation and a long-lasting life for years of dependable service. And because it's a WEN product, your WEN 9 in. Benchtop Band Saw comes backed by a two-year warranty, a stocked inventory of replacement parts and a friendly customer phone line all to make sure you remember WEN.
The feature-packed lightweight G0948 10 in. 1/2 HP Bandsaw is a perfect entry-level machine for home or garage setups, or as an easy-to-move auxiliary saw for professional shops. With a maximum cutting height of 6-1/8 in. , you'll have as much resaw capacity as some 14 in. models, for a fraction of the price. Designed for convenience and accuracy, the G0948 features adjustable ball-bearing blade guides to prevent blade wander. It uses a 72 in. blade and accepts blades from 1/8 in. to 1/2 in. W with enough power to cut through green woods and other dense materials. The extruded aluminum fence is designed for easy attachment and removal from the rails. It has a magnified cursor scale for fast and accurate adjustments. A built-in LED work light will illuminate your workpieces and help you see your cut line better. For added safety, the on/off paddle switch has a removable disabling key. If a lightweight and affordable, yet durable, feature-rich 10 in. bandsaw is just what you and your projects need, then this is the one.
