SwitZer 230V 8" Band Saw Workshop Bench Top Bandsaw Tilt Table DIY Woodworking Blade 80mm Cutting Height with LED Lamp SZ-BS01 Grey

A great wee band saw, simple assembly, it was pre-set-up pretty good so I only made some small adjustments to the blade quides but all very straight forward. Why 0nly a 4*?.... The cam clamp lever on the fence is a hard horrible cheap plastic and it snapped after only two uses. Whether I over-tightened it? possibly.... but non the less it needs careful handling and it is not the end of the world if it does break, as you can see from the picture, I made a new stronger version using the original fence, some 1/4" threaded rod and a metal cam clamp... Hope this helps.... Good value for the cost and accurate enough for discerning DIY'r.

I have read other reviews regarding cheap bandsaw's but had to give it a try needed something good enough for my projects. I ordered this one although it wasn't the cheapest I could find but at £150 I can't complain in fact I'm quite impressed with this bandsaw Primarily I bought it for wood projects but had to try out cutting aluminium I cut a piece 16mm thick 100mm long by 80mm wide and to my surprise it cut like butter Overall I am pleased and impressed with this machine well worth the money

Purchased the machine and within two days the plastic toggle broke from the guide bar. Also does not cut straight and now the band and blade keep coming off. Not happy.

easy to assemble, good starter bandsaw.

Not a bad bit of kit for the money. Fairly easy to assemble and use. The supplied blade is useless so order a few spares when you get it. There’s no kerf on the blade so it’s useless trying to saw round tight bends. Set the guides up properly and it cuts great.

This is just the right size for my W/shop.Easy to put together and set upA great buy

Good for light wood work, but it was let down by some of the components being very much on the cheap side with poor engineering tolerances. For example the bed was nowhere near level without having to shim the mounting points. The guide does not clamp down well on the bed and the plastic locking mechanism for it is pretty flimsy. There are reasonable adjustable blade guides and blade tension adjustment however and for £150 it is just about worth it for light work, but I would probably go for a better (but more expensive) make if I was to purchase again.

Recieved the bandsaw and set up easily, unfortunately the fence broke and there was no stock to send a replacement, the seller was very easy to deal with and very apologetic and quickly processed a refund.Good wee saw if not for the fence
