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

I bought this band saw for my husband’s woodworking shop for Christmas. He says for a small saw it cuts well and is quiet. He is very pleased with this addition to his shop.

Esta es una excelente sierra cinta en su segmento, es muy fácil de armar, es fácil de usar y ocupa poco espacio.

This Skill bandsaw is fantastic. It replaced my 35 year old Delta that was about same size. This Skill bandsaw is definitely better than the old Delta, even when it was new. Build quality is great. All ball-bearing blade guides unlike the Delta that used plastic set-off blades guides that were always a PIA. Swapping blades on this Skill is so much easier than my old Delta. Larger sawing work area too. Glad I purchased this one!

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.
