*Phenomenal portaband. Worth the wait in replacing my stolen previous model **MyBest.Tools** Variable speed, with an adjustable governor, adjustable shoe, and locking articulating forward handle. It's beefy, but feels just incredibly well built and solid, will eat through strut, emt, rigid, all thread, whatever, all day.*

Major kudos to you for deciding to put a year of use into this little band saw before reviewing it! In my not-very-humble opinion, reviews filmed right after the "unboxing" are virtually meaningless. What you accomplished with and said about this machine have convinced me beyond a shadow of a doubt. THANK YOU!

I dont even own a drill, im just here to see the video cause i just love how this man does them ! Stay safe sir

This video helped me choose the WEN Band Saw I am going to purchase. Your skill (showing) is truly a helpful showing of what it can do. Thank You.

What an excellent and thoughtful review. I love that you waited a year and talked about the projects you work on. So much of the answer to "is this this the right tool for me?" is based on the projects we do. Thanks Gene!

Thanks for sharing your experience with the band saw! I loved seeing those other projects you did, they looked amazing! Well done! Side note, glad to see your Son doing woodwork…we are a dying breed.

This guy bought this band saw on December 2019 and released his review on February 2021, I'm so tired of channels like 731 that gets their freebies and ask everyone and their mother to buy because it's cool and free. Thanks for the review, I'm going to get the 10"

Thank you so much for this review. I've been doing DIY projects for about 18 months and I am about to step up and get a band saw and drill press for a different level of projects. Your review is extremely helpful and I'm glad I saw it. I'll definitely be subscribing and looking at your other videos. Thanks for sharing your time and expertise with us.

Thank you sir. Enjoyed the review. That is the one I'm going with in my small workshop.

Nice little saw. They sure are handy! Thanks for the recent videos. Hope you and your family are doing well. Take care!🙂

[larrybaker]

thanks for the review. I bought a Delta 16" 3-wheel band saw new 32 years ago and thinking of adding this to my shop. WEN makes some great products, I have the 6" jointer (same as craftsman but about $100 cheaper) trim router only $49 and have used the daylights out of it.

Like others, I saw this on Amazon, and thinking about getting it along with the drill Press.
My main projects will be rings and pens (wood and acrylic). Your review after a year of use pretty much sold me on getting it.

[ronhau]

Holly crap! The projects you made are incredible and love you had your son out there!
I will follow you

Looks like a nice saw. I had a Skill bandsaw several years ago when I built alot of cigar box guitars. It held up about a year then the blade kept slipping off. I could never get it to stop doing that. Thanks for the review.

[MakinSawdust]

That had some good info. I have liked wen products and I was wondering about the quality of the bandsaw. I am glad you made this video. I have my classic 3 wheeled bandsaw and it works really good because it is set up and tuned. I have been trying to incorporate it more into my workflow and project ideas.
Have a great day ~Kevin

DIY Gene: Mine just arrived. Want to cut 4 x 4's (3.5 x 3.5) angled on one side. Hope it works. Thanks for the info.

[suspence]

Can you make a video about all the tools you use to make your guitars at home? thanks!

[leandersmith]

Thanks for sharing, I'm in for a bandsaw and not sure about building one or buying one. I'm working with a wen plainer and very happy with it.

[davidwhiteley]

Great review - short, sweet, and useful! Thank you.

[abrahamdejesusmartinezsanc]

Gene you are enjoying your hobbie that's great. Thanks for sharing I'll buy my own
