Customer Reviews for WEN 4.6 Amp 4 in. x 6 in. Metal-Cutting Band Saw with Stand

This is not a precision piece of gear, but no one should expect that for the price. This is a budget saw and you get what you pay for. With that said, if you’re on a tight budget and need something a lot faster than a hacksaw, this is great bang for the buck.

not for professional work. I contacted the technical hot line by both phone and e-mail and was never answered. My question was - Your manual says never to use cutting fluid on metal your cutting with this bandsaw - how can I keep the blade in good shape if i dont use cutting fluid?. They never responded. It cuts ok, but we will see how long the blade lasts. I gave them 3 stars because they never responded.

Work really good

The first saw we received broke after 5 cuts. We returned it and got another one. The second one broke after 3 cuts. In both cases the problem seemed to be in the gear drive under the front cover.

worth its weight in old i love it, works like a dream.

Nicer than I thought it would be for the price. Cuts slow but accurate. I can set it to cut and go do other work in the meantime.

Works great for what I need it to do, good buy for the money.

Good, not great. Cheap parts. Feed spring streched out, needed replacement. Good customer service. Cutting .095x1.75 DOM A513 mild steel. After 5 of the 8 consecutive cuts, the motor was so hot I couldn't even touch it. Perhaps mine is missing a cooling fan- this is concerning for bigger projects.

perfect

Pros- Price, seams to work well Cons- Arrived with blade tension knob broken. Also the pulleys were already on & needed to be removed to put on the belt gaurd.

Does every thing I hope for !

Very good

Works great, compact size. Good price for what you get

Good product for what you're paying.

Fantastic saw for the price! I almost went with a noisy, dusty, gritty chop saw, but soooo glad that I went with a bandsaw. Absolutely quiet and accurate. Yes, this low cost model has very manual fence (angle) adjustments that take a bit more time, but for the $$, outstanding value. Well Built!

This is a great little saw. Out of the box it took some tweaking to align the blade to cut straight. So far I have used it to cut a ton of 2x2x1/8" square, 1x1x1/8" square, and trimming down sheets of 1/8" diamond plate steel. The stock blade is pretty decent as I have not had to replace it yet with all these cuts. The one thing that would be nice, is if it came with a little fence for ripping down, pieces of plate to make a more straighter of a cut.

Very well built and does the job!

I'm happy with this tool!

Assembling the saw was straight forward, and easy. All appeared to be of good quality, and condition. Made several cuts through 7/8” stainless steel tubing which worked perfectly. The saw performed exactly as expected. I would recommend this product.

Assembled fairly easy by myself. Took a little time to figure out (speed/ other adjustments) however I found the bandsaw to perform very well. Happy with purchase!

This is a very solid saw. Shipping damage to box created some minor issues that were easily fixed. The only major flaw is the poor design for locking the saw in a vertical position. Still, a very usable saw that performs well.

Very pleased with this Wen bandsaw thus far. It was easy to assemble and is a great addition to our shop! Excellent value!

I had it assembled in about a half hour. I'm very happy with it for the price. It works great.

I've used the saw for several projects and found it to work well and accurately make angle cuts. Many good features and excellent performance for a saw of its size.

Super happy with purchase. Have had for 3 months and still impressed! Has cut everything I have put in it. For the price I thought it would be a lot less of the saw That you get!

Does not work at all . Blade kept slipping off of the pulleys , Parts were not manufactured well. Do not recommend this product.
