Tools and Hardware Reviews of Rockwell RK7453 9-Inch Band Saw
Customer Review: You get what you pay for here.
Summary: 3 Stars
I am quite pleased with this bandsaw. I did not personally have the blade-coming-off problem described by other reviewers, and it's true that you have to do a fair bit of adjustment to blade guides, etc to get the saw to work well. The adjustment is straightforward: watch the Wood Whisperer's guide to setting up a bandsaw, and you'll easily figure this one out. It even comes with the tools to do the adjustment!
However, I've now logged probably 10-20 hours of continuous sawing on the saw, and other than breaking a blade yesterday (my own fault), I have no complaints.
The work light is very nice. I put the bandsaw near my (also cheap) drill press and use the work light interchangeably.
I plan on replacing the table with a larger one at some point -- the existing table is just bolted on, so it looks like an easy replacement.
The miter gauge is worthless: throw it out. But that's always true at this level of tool.
In summary: if you want to spend very little on a small bandsaw, and you're willing to do some patient fiddling to get it to go, you might have luck with this saw. OTOH, maybe I just got lucky. :-)
