Terry's Review of Shop Fox 1 HP 14in Bandsaw

I ordered this product from Optics Planet because I got the best price. I own other Shop Fox products so I decided to order this product as my first band saw. There was a long lead time from the time I ordered it until the time I received it (appx 5wks). The band saw was shipped freight from optics planet to my garage door. The packaging was in top condition and the product had no damage. I assembled the stand, table cradle, and fence in a short period of time (I did not track the time but let's say about 40 minutes.

The blade included was a 93inch 3/8in 7 or 8 TPI.

I performed a test cut on Poplar (cut like butter), and Birch (wood smelled like it was burning). Next, I followed instructions to align the blade guides which took awhile since I am a beginner (appx 40 minutes to get it right). I cleaned the cast iron table with a citrus solvent (goo gone orange). Then I applied paste wax to help stave off rusting.

I ordered a new 1/2inch 3PC 93inch Timber Wolf blade and installed it to resaw some birch. The saw and blade worked perfectly. The Birch was 4/4 rough sawn 6inch. I am happy so far.
Pros:
  • Comes with a blade and a nice cabinet base
Cons:
  • Long lead time for delivery
Best Used for:
  • Re-sawing wood
Would Recommend: Yes
