Compact Benchtop Design for Easy Transport
Perfect for moving from site to site or between different shop locations, the JWBS-10OS has an easy-to-transport design. Measuring 17.7 x 14.6 x 34.6 inches (WxLxH) overall, with a table that measures approximately 19 x 13 inches (WxL) with the extension and 13 x 13 inches (WxL) without, this band saw is truly portable, so you can place it exactly where you need it.

Steel Stand and Base for Stability
When it's time to move from the benchtop to the floor, the rigid steel stand makes for a smooth transition and a steady place to work. There's also a reinforced steel base that can be bolted to the stand or work bench for an extra measure of strength and stability.

Additionally, when working with heavy loads, you'll appreciate the upper and lower ball bearing blade guides, which provide even more reinforcement and stability.

Induction Motor Balanced by Poly-V Drive System
The JWBS-10OS owes its robust performance to a heavy duty 1/2 HP induction motor that handles a variety of cutting applications. Additionally, a poly-v drive system maximizes power transfer from motor to blade, reducing vibrations and allowing for consistent performance.

Welded Frame, Extension Wings, and Oversized Knobs for Ease of Use
Boasting a durable design and straightforward operation, the JWBS-10OS meets even large jobs head on without sacrificing ease of use. First, a one-piece welded frame design reduces machine vibration and flux, while retractable extension wings provide additional work piece support when you need it.

Oversized-ergonomic knobs are simple to use and provide maximum control. Finally, a quick release tension makes changing and re-tensioning the blade fast, easy, and consistent so you can quickly get back to work.

LED Light and Extruded Fence for Accuracy
To help ensure precision, the JWBS-10OS offers a flexible LED light to provide visibility without blocking your line of sight, an aluminum extruded fence that ensures smooth sliding action and straight, precise cuts, and rack and pinion blade guide adjustment with an integrated locking knob for height control.

Flexibility and Safety Features
To provide an even greater level of flexibility, the table-tilting trunnion allows working angles from zero to 45 degrees, and a magnifying cursor enlarges measurement scale for precise fence location, thereby minimizing the potential for error. Finally, a blade site window helps guard your safety by making sure you can always see the exact position of the blade while you work.

The JWBS-10OS is backed by a three-year warranty.

About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.

4 out of 5 stars JWBS-10OS 10 -inch Band Saw   November 17, 2009
J. Haislip (Metro DC area)
Yep, the packing was just as described; torn and banged up. I opened it while the UPS guy was still there. No damage, I was lucky. It went together without any issues and the test drive proved that it has potential in my small shop. It came with a 3/8 inch 6 tpi blade. I bought additional blades on-line at [...]. I also bought an additional trunion support bracket (part 108) from WMH Tool Group. I intend to modify and install it to increase the cutting capacity by another 1/2 to 3/4 inches. I'll keep you posted...wear safety glasses!Jet JWBS-10OS 10-Inch Band Saw with Stand

As was the case with several other reviewers, this saw arrived in a carton that was in dreadful shape. I weigh just slightly more than the saw itself, so it was quite an ordeal to hoist it up to my assembly table, assemble it, and then lift it back down to the floor. So just imagine my dismay when, after all that work, I found the upper blade guard assembly was broken.

However, the return/replacement process with Amazon was remarkably easy and uncomplicated. I simply logged on to Amazon, clicked a few buttons and within seconds had printed out a return shipping form. I was not charged for the return shipping and a UPS driver arrived the next day to pick it up. A few days after that a replacement saw arrived. The shipping carton for the second saw was in slightly better shape but I checked most of the moving parts before taking it out of the box and would recommend others to do the same. But even so, the plastic guard over the motor housing was crushed and the plastic end cap for the fence was broken off.

Since I didn't think these things would affect the performance of the saw, I tried it out and was pleasantly surprised. The saw almost effortlessly resawed a rough piece of 2X4 into a nice 3/4 inch thick board, with minimal saw marks. It also maneuvered around some rather tight turns. I think I will keep this one.

I have a Jet JWBS 10OS that works great. The only problem is related to the use I have for the saw. I use it, primarily, for cutting pen blanks. I want to cut some of the blanks at various angles, using different sleds, which are guided by the miter gauge slot, but the miter gauge rides in a narrow "T" slot, not the conventional 3/8" x 3/4". I then found that there are no other miter gauges or bars available for the narrow "T" slot. I went online with Jet to look for parts for the saw, yet they do not include the JWBS-10OS in their parts listing. I emailed Jet 4 days ago to inquire about purchasing an additional Miter Gauge(s) (to use the bar for the sled), but I have received no response. I realize its early in production, but the issue of spare and replacement parts should have been included in the original production plans. Other than that, from a mechanical point, it works quite well.

The one common thread with this saw is that the product is good but the packaging is beyond horrible. Realizing that there are obviously more expensive saws on the market I realize that this is priced right but just because Jet offers the saw at a decent price shouldn't mean that they can skimp on the box required to get it to you. Come on Jet you have a quality item here, put it in a quality box that will hold it properly.


4 out of 5 stars Probably a good saw, but a LOUSY box   June 15, 2009

Mine arrived right on time. The box was clearly labeled that it was a two person lift. The driver carried it up my driveway alone. The box was a disaster. Tape was torn, holes punched in several places, and the top was open so that parts could have been missing. On opening, the rigid styrofoam was totally schredded. I photo-documented the unpacking process. What I found was a dinged and scraped up fence, two broken knobs on the saw, and the saw-to-base was bent--a lot. On the garage floor it rocked--a lot. When I put a square on it, the thing was out of square over an inch in the height of the saw. UPS was only marginally helpful. They wanted to know if it could be repaired! Excuse me? I bought a NEW saw, not one that was repaired. It was sent back, and got an e-mail that a refund was to be made, BUT they were going to deduct the return shipping! Again, EXCUSE ME? I complalined that is seemed stupid for UPS to get paid shipping for something they destroyed. Amazon agreed. That part solved. I'll order another, but Jet needs better boxes and UPS needs to follow their own weight label instructions. Sheeesh. You might be well advised to do the one-day shipping. Maybe less time in UPS's hands is better.
