Good solid saw

Comments about JET HVBS-56M, 5 in. x 6 in. 1/2 HP 1-Phase Horizontal/Vertical Band Saw:
[...] During adjustment for blade tension the upper bolt that holds the pulley stripped the threads. Threads on mounting block were good so I measured threads with thread gauge to replace bolt locally. I expected metric as bolt head used 12mm wrench, to my surprise they were 5/16 by 18 tpi!!! I am happy with saw as it is easy to use and makes nice square cuts.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about JET HVBS-56M, 5 in. x 6 in. 1/2 HP 1-Phase Horizontal/Vertical Band Saw:
This band saw does just fine for me and the finish on the saw is clean and professional looking. I have a home machine shop and I use this saw to cut metal stock before machining. This saw cuts true, smooth and clean. The assembly and adjustments are easy. The only draw back I found is one of the leg bottoms had a bad weld, which poses no factor as I used this leg on the wheeled end of the saw. The saw is very stable for cutting and it doesn't take up a lot of room.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about JET HVBS-56M, 5 in. x 6 in. 1/2 HP 1-Phase Horizontal/Vertical Band Saw:
I fabricate metal projects and weld, I've always needed a horizonal bandsaw, I have a portable with a bench top stand for it, but couldn't cut anything but 90 degree's. This saw will do everything I need to do. I researched other brands looking at the breakdown manuals and decided on the Jet model because it looked to be manufactured and engineered better than other brands. Adjustments appeared to be simpler. I'm a firm believer in the kiss princible. Tom in MO.

Solid design and good quality

Comments about JET HVBS-56M, 5 in. x 6 in. 1/2 HP 1-Phase Horizontal/Vertical Band Saw:
I design and fabricate metal sculptures. This saw makes accurate miter and square joints fast. I can produce my designs fast and with good quality using this saw. The only drawback is the vice design. It's hard to set-up angle joints and reproduce them in quantity plus it has limitations in the shape of stock used. Overall it's a fine saw for the money.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about JET HVBS-56M, 5 in. x 6 in. 1/2 HP 1-Phase Horizontal/Vertical Band Saw:
I design and fabricate custom quilt hangers, cabinet handles religious items from structural steel shapes and must get fast, accurate cuts to permit welding without a lot of setup time. This JET saw gave me that feature and more.I would recommend it highly for light to medium shop work.[...] I'll be back.
