Pros?• A small sized bandsaw• Great for small projects• This made most of my tools storage devices• Cheap blades due to the small nature of the beast• Very portable• Easy to setup• For what I use it for it has a decent motor• The opening around the blade on the base plate is a good size enabling thin veneer cuts; I found in very thins parts that more speed at the end reduces chances of the wood splitting• Can stabilize using the metal bars included that increase its portability or bolt unto table to reduce the amount of space and solid surface require behind.Cons?• Needs regular cleaning, can build-up dust and wood quickly (mainly due to me not turning on the hoover or attaching it each time due to it being a quick cut.• The table is a little small, from the mouth to the support bar could be a little widerADHD?• Fun to use• Quite a safe tool due to the speed of cut and that you have two hands or push sticks on the product at all times.• Having a creative outlet with ADHD is important, be it woodwork, painting or creative writing find something that fits you.Ease of use?• Easy to understand, harder to master• Make things a lot easier for yourself and before opening the box watch some YouTube videos on the correct way to set-up from a bandsaw though its easy requires some knowledge on gaps sizes and tension (sounds way more complicated than it is in actual use)Storage?• Very easy small overall size, both when in use, and when not• Blade storage is easy, learn how to fold blades back into a small circle and store in the drawPrice?• Good price for the fun and products you can create.• I paid £125 from Amazon directReliability?• Been used quite a bit and so far hasn’t let me down, fingers crossedGoes well with.• Being a small size bandsaw works best with smaller projects, have a look at my wishlist for small projectsFinal Result?A great tool that is quite safe to use and practice on. Good for those with small workshops like myself. I have a larger one that has a cutting depth 3x the size at just under 6 inches, yet I use this more due to its ease of use and cheap blades.

I wasn't Expecting this to be the Best Bench top Bandsaw, only intending it for small Boatbuilding Parts, ie Breast hooks, Stern Knees, and Station Moulds, BUT, I was Pleasantly surprised, after the assembly, which was Quick and Painless, I was Impressed with the overall Quality of the Saw, Parts fit was very good, and as with even the most Expensive Bandsaws they do benefit from a Proper post Transit Setup, having said that, in Operation the Saw is exceptionally Quiet and accurate, being able to Produce Consistent & Uniform 1mm Veneer cuts, making Straight or curved cuts was both Fast and Easy.There are a couple of let-downs though.1: the table is made of rather thin Pressed Steel, and does have some Flex, also, there is no Provision for the use of a Mitre Guide, in fact there IS no Mitre Guide, (although upon closer inspection it Appears that replacing the pressed steel Table with a 20mm Machined Billet Aluminium one is a simple and worthwhile Upgrade)2: The Table Insert was a Poor fit, in that there was a step that the ends of wood can catch on (again a replacement Table, or, some Fettling of the Insert will address this)3: the Fence, while Sturdy, can be inadvertently knocked out of true, owing to the use of bare Pressed Steel Locking Components in the Ends.Drawbacks aside, Overall for a sub £150 Tool, I'm really Pleased with the Performance of the Saw, and would heartily recommend it for the small Hobby workshopNB the saw was Advertised as having a Euro style Plug, but the one i received had a UK Plug already Fitted!

A good well built machine, it does the job.surprisingly it judders a bit even when cuttingfairly thin materials.

Everything was well and thoughtfully made I would have been well satisfied if the electric motor had worked I would buy it again but I need the failed one to be collected first. But the collection service seems to be taking ages. Perhaps I have been forgotten.

I bought this bandsaw because they have a trusted past with me ( bought a few items) but there is no reset button as it in the manual, I put it together using the manual but no power to the saw……? Did I get a dud ?

I am very happy with the bandsaw: it cuts cleanly and easily. I had an initial problem because the safety cut-out sockets on the upper and lower doors did not click into position until I manually (flat-blade screwdriver) clicked them: remember to have it plugged out if doing this!An additional written instruction to this effect would have been useful?

Delivered on time and works great but will need to change blades foe a thinner one for sharper curves

Instructions included were not in English, had to download English version.Blade supplied was of poor oquality, very quickly blunted.
