Flimsy Jet Can Still Cut
Fine Woodworking Magazine, Volume 170, 2004-05

by Researchgirl

According to Fine Woodworking's test, this Jet bandsaw cut acceptably well in its resaw and curve-cutting tests. It has a great fence which allows for blade drift and was perfectly square. However, it has a noticeably weak frame and a table which tilted under 30 lbs. of weight. It had the lowest resaw capacity of the eleven machines tested and its fussy-to-adjust guides caused FWW to complain about blade changing.
