SKIL 2.8 Amp 9 In. 2-Speed Benchtop Band Saw for Woodworking - BW9501-00

Es una buena herramienta, muy bonita y funcional, pero no es para carpintería, es para manualidades, como decoraciones de bodas, XV años y cosas de ese tipo, puedes trabajar en madera o MDF, pero con una sección menor a 1/2 pulgada ó 12 mm máximo, más de eso será un problema para la cinta que dejara de estar a plomo o vertical, no es problema para el motor, creo que si jala, el problema es para los baleros que sujetan la cinta, y tendrás un mal corte. Mejor usarla para lo que es, MDF de 6mm. A mí no me sirve, pues intento hacer carpintería y esto es muy pequeño... Si a alguien le interesa le paso la mía, fortunato rosauro junto sin espacio, arroba el correo más grande de América que empieza con g

This band saw has a half house power motor. In cutting 2x4s, it did not slow down at all. It also has three point bearings, both top and bottom to support the blade. Setup was minimal, and the unit works quite well. The unit also has a 3 year warranty extension, free.

Works great, have no issues. Make sure you put it on a decent stand and bolt it down. Covers are plastic...but the frame is solid.

Muy útil si estás experimentando con curvas en la madera. Corta muy fácil el pino, aunque debe ajustarse cada cierto tiempo.

I’m never quite sure what to leave in a review like this, or if I should leave one at all. The product (or at the very least the box) came damaged. It was smashed in on one whole side, upon opening, the styrofoam on the inside was broken as well, and I could hear metal parts jangling around. I wouldn’t buy it from a brick and mortar store, so back it went. I’ve kept damaged products in the past where I didn’t see any damage, and it came back to bite me well after the return window. I have several Skil products (a drill press, a router, router table, drills and the like) and I am a big fan, they have never let me down. They are all quality products from the budget price range. I obviously can’t tell where in the process the box took the hit (as a former factory guy, it looks to me like someone got in a hurry on the forklift) so based on previous Skil performance I will assume it’s a 5 star tool and I got a bad beat. I don’t want to leave a bad review for something that might not have been Skil’s doing.
