Jet JWBS-10OS 10-Inch Band Saw with Stand Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have a Jet JWBS 10OS that works great. The only problem is related to the use I have for the saw. I use it, primarily, for cutting pen blanks. I want to cut some of the blanks at various angles, using different sleds, which are guided by the miter gauge slot, but the miter gauge rides in a narrow "T" slot, not the conventional 3/8" x 3/4". I then found that there are no other miter gauges or bars available for the narrow "T" slot. I went online with Jet to look for parts for the saw, yet they do not include the JWBS-10OS in their parts listing. I emailed Jet 4 days ago to inquire about purchasing an additional Miter Gauge(s) (to use the bar for the sled), but I have received no response. I realize its early in production, but the issue of spare and replacement parts should have been included in the original production plans. Other than that, from a mechanical point, it works quite well.

With its compact, space-saving design, solid, sturdy construction, and host of user-friendly features, the Jet JWBS-10OS 10-Inch Band Saw with Stand combines portability with high-performance details that get the job done. Offering quick-release blade tension, upper and lower ball bearing blade guides, and an extra-large cast iron tilting table, this robust band saw gives you all the features of a bigger band saw in a mobile package.
The table-tilting trunnion handles working angles from 0 to 45 degrees.Compact Benchtop Design for Easy TransportPerfect for moving from site to site or between different shop locations, the JWBS-10OS has an easy-to-transport design. Measuring 17.7 x 14.6 x 34.6 inches (WxLxH) overall, with a table that measures approximately 19 x 13 inches (WxL) with the extension and 13 x 13 inches (WxL) without, this band saw is truly portable, so you can place it exactly where you need it.
Steel Stand and Base for StabilityWhen it's time to move from the benchtop to the floor, the rigid steel stand makes for a smooth transition and a steady place to work. There's also a reinforced steel base that can be bolted to the stand or work bench for an extra measure of strength and stability.
Additionally, when working with heavy loads, you'll appreciate the upper and lower ball bearing blade guides, which provide even more reinforcement and stability.
Induction Motor Balanced by Poly-V Drive SystemThe JWBS-10OS owes its robust performance to a heavy duty 1/2 HP induction motor that handles a variety of cutting applications. Additionally, a poly-v drive system maximizes power transfer from motor to blade, reducing vibrations and allowing for consistent performance.
Welded Frame, Extension Wings, and Oversized Knobs for Ease of UseBoasting a durable design and straightforward operation, the JWBS-10OS meets even large jobs head on without sacrificing ease of use. First, a one-piece welded frame design reduces machine vibration and flux, while retractable extension wings provide additional work piece support when you need it.
Oversized-ergonomic knobs are simple to use and provide maximum control. Finally, a quick release tension makes changing and re-tensioning the blade fast, easy, and consistent so you can quickly get back to work.
LED Light and Extruded Fence for AccuracyTo help ensure precision, the JWBS-10OS offers a flexible LED light to provide visibility without blocking your line of sight, an aluminum extruded fence that ensures smooth sliding action and straight, precise cuts, and rack and pinion blade guide adjustment with an integrated locking knob for height control.
Flexibility and Safety FeaturesTo provide an even greater level of flexibility, the table-tilting trunnion allows working angles from zero to 45 degrees, and a magnifying cursor enlarges measurement scale for precise fence location, thereby minimizing the potential for error. Finally, a blade site window helps guard your safety by making sure you can always see the exact position of the blade while you work.
The JWBS-10OS is backed by a three-year warranty.
About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich ProductsOpened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.
