Customer Review Rating: 5.0 (Average rating from all reviews)
Review 1 of 2:
Got this on the Black Friday sale. Been looking at it for a while. Seems that Jet put some real grassroots feedback into this one. 1. Built in 12" resaw 2. Carter style blade guides. 3. Accessible tension relief & tension adjustment no more busted knuckles. 4. 110/220 5. 2 speeds Assembly was a breeze Make sure you have a strong pal the 200 lb top end is not for the feint of heart. Makes it a real stable unit. Initial set-up was just as smooth. Still don't have a fence, but that has never stopped me in the past. A solid piece of hardwood and some clamps has worked for me for a long time. First re-saw went flawlessly ... 8" persimmon NO DRIFT AT ALL!!! I've heard nightmares about that. Blade changes were not bad ... can't imagine that ever being EASY. Just make sure you're ready to re-adjust the guides Upper are...

At price, I would pass knowing what I know. It does what it's supposed to, but currently, you can't find the parts for it online - not even the tires. You have to call Jet customer service during their hours to order. While only $1.25, if you can't find locally nowhere within 100 miles of me to purchase - including the place I bought it from, the shipping will cost $9 for standard ground. Jet's website now under waltermeijer doesn't find the part. They've apparently been having "trouble" with their website for well over 3 months - the time since I first started trying to find the part on their website. The wheel requires a very narrow tire, and since the only ones I can find are 1" wide, they have to be trimmed. Also, the tire that came with it was shredded by the blade in less than 3...

Review 1 of 1:
The saw quality was very good and easy to put together. It is a nice quiet machine and the wheels seem to be well balanced. The only issues that prevented me from rating this excellent: The Euro style blade guide bearing were misaligned due to the construction of the bearings. This made it difficult to set these correctly. These were poor quality and I would strongly advise replacing with the roller bearings. For as much as this saw cost, the roller bearings should be standard. The upper blade guard begs to be removed. The lower portion gets in the way of seeing the work. In the end, I removed the upper blade guard and cut off that portion that goes below the blade guide. I don't like to operate without the blade guard. The table was fairly flat, about 1/32" off in the direction parallel to the saw...

Laguna LT14 x 14 SUV Bandsaw

Laguna LT14 x 14 SUV Bandsaw

Customer Review Rating: 4.7 (Average rating from all reviews)
Review 1 of 3:

Awesome band saw. Resaw is a breeze with this power filled workhorse. Points of interest: 1. The Drift Master mount does not align with the table mounting holes. Accordingly, the included universal mounting brackets must be used to mount the fence to the table. The problem I encountered was that the included universal mounting bolts were too large for the table mounting holes. Laguna customer service said this happens occasionally and offered to ship the appropriate bolts. I declined the offer and scrounged a couple of size appropriate bolts. 2. The Laguna 14 SUV requires some assembly. Mounting the motor is a bit tricky unassisted, but possible. Mounting the Drift Master to the table and then the table and Drift Master to the frame is even trickier unassisted, but also possible.

Carter Band Saw Bearing Guides

Customer Review Rating: 4.6 (Average rating from all reviews)
Review 1 of 9:
Excellent product! I own a Grizzly 14" band saw and it is definitely worth the upgrade. Blade runs true and smooth with much less twisting than the original equipment. The Jet and Grizzly guide kit is the same and I ran into the same problem with the blade guard being too short with the riser block installed. To solve the problem I modified my old blade guard. I used the top blade guard mounting slot and drilled the bottom mounting whole to match the new blade guard holder. The modification works great.
