What Customers Say About Wilton 8201K 14-Inch 1-Horsepower Metal and Wood Cutting Bandsaw, 115-Volt 1-Phase:
|

Very functional with the optional accessories for both metal and wood. This is the first bandsaw I have purchased but I find it an excellent choice and it has met or exceeded the capabilities/specifications stated by the manufacturer.
If you leave the high speed belt installed, you will have 5 speeds at your disposal by merely moving the clutch drive in or out. There is no way to get the low speeds without the gear box on this saw, I heard of some people thinking they can just change the pulleys on other wood saws, it just doesn't work. Its too bad they don't include the blade tension quick release like the Powermatic, that was an additional expense for the Carter release, but this is not a must for some people. Overall I recommend this saw if you are cutting metal and/or wood. I leave the high speed belt off as I will only be using the low speeds. I already have the Powermatic wood bandsaw, I bought the Wilton to use strictly for metal, this one is quite capable for both, but personally I would rather have separate, dedicated machines.
It went together quickly (less than 1 hour) and ran perfectly with only minor adjustments to dial it in. The variable speed version of this saw is $290 more, it will not achieve as low a speed as this one, do your homework to decide which is best for you, I couldn't justify the extra expense. The quality is that of the Powermatic, since both are from WMH Tools and probably made in the same factory (Taiwan). The saw has 8 low speeds but you must switch the pulleys from the motor to the gear box which gives you 4 speeds one combination and 4 the other. I would have given it 5 stars if it came with the blade tension quick release. These saws are packed very well, I had no damage.
As for the operation, so far has been great.
