Jet 14" Bandsaw JWBS-14DXPRO

When I was trying to crank up the tension for a 3/4" blade, it was so difficult that I broke the tension knob. It turned out that the bushing on the tensioning device was not set correctly at the factory. The instruction manual tells you how to fix that, but wouldn't it be nice if it was right to begin with? Also, though this saw is advertised to accept a 3/4" blade, it really doesn't. I couldn't move the thrust bearings back far enough for the 3/4" blade to track properly. Fortunately, it resaws just fine with a 1/2" blade. And forget Jet's fence and miter gauge that you have to buy separately. Both are pretty useless. And the first fence I got was drilled incorrecty for mounting the resaw pivot. The customer service rep was very helpful and sent out a replacement right away, but again, it would be nice if it was right to begin with. Bottom line: once I got the bugs worked out, this bandsaw works well, and I especially like it's resaw ability. So I'll probably keep it, though I'll junk the fence and miter gauge and get better aftermarket ones for the same price. But if you're in the market for a new bandsaw? I think you can do better.
