I’m considering the purchase of a Jet 18″ Band Saw. I’ve looked and looked and this brand and model seem to be a nice compromise when considering price, quality and capability. I’m a novice woodworker and have not owned a bandsaw previously. Any suggestions or advice is welcomed, and my thanks in advance.

I have the JET 18" band saw and am very happy with it. I wondered about needing such a big motor but it is nice and just cruises along no matter what I am cutting. I have a full review of it at the link below with lots of photos and a video that goes into way more detail than I could here. Very nice machine and you save money by getting the last band saw you will ever need the first time around.

Because there is always more to learn!

Thanks for your reply. Just recently I was slightly put off by some negative reviews re. the previous 18x model (table out of flat by some 1/8"). Your remarks have restored my confidence. Again, many thanks.
