Description of Delta 28-248 14-Inch 1-1/2 Horsepower Woodworking Band Saw, 115-Volt, 1 Phase
If you're shopping for a band saw, we don't have to tell you what an incredibly versatile tool it is to have in your shop. But we can tell you why this one is worth buying. Whether you'll use it mainly for resawing or for creative curved cuts, you'll appreciate everything from its rock-solid construction to its micrometer adjustment for ball bearing blade support and the blade guide blocks that assure absolute accuracy. The cast-iron table is a generous 16 by 16 inches and easily tilts 45 degrees right and 3 degrees left for bevel cuts. The max cut capacity is 6-1/4-inch thick, and even at that, with the 1-1/2 hp motor, you won't experience any bogging. Blade change, the least favorite job of band-saw owners, is really not so bad: There's a side take-out slot for the blade, and you won't even have to remove the rip fence guide rails when you're changing blades. We're impressed, too, with the Veri-Set quick-index tensioning system, designed to get you back to cutting wood and not fumbling with blade tension. We didn't hook up the press to a dust-collection system, so we can't vouch for how well the integral port pulls sawdust, but the rest of its features would make any woodworker happy.--Kris Jensen-Van HesteBand Saws
