“Love this bandsaw. Easy to set up and makes perfect accurate cuts every time. You just ned to know how to set this up. I had a Grizzly and it was a piece of crap that required constant tinkering. These are expensive to be sure. It's worth the price.”

“I purchased two of these bandsaws with the 6" riser block to replace the two Grizzly G0555's that I had. I couldn't be more dissapointed. They are the exact same as the Grizzly but were twice as expensive. I could write pages about why these are junk, but instead I'll list the main points; -Tables are IMPOSSIBLE to zero and align based on their engineering, you will not get them level and sqaure I spent 6 hours between the two saws - Its worth noting twice just how archaic and innacurate the table leveling setup is on this machine - The tensioner, neck, doors, and much more are literally the EXACT same as the Grizzly, just in Powermatic paint - The blade that is included would struggle to cut through butter - The throat plate is plastic and fits like garbage which causes your work to get hung-up while its going through the blade - Miter gauge is absolute garbage - Fence is absolute garbage- you won't be able to tighten it enough to keep it from moving without stripping out the threads in the cast table. - Blade guides and blade guard are flimsy and won't keep your adjustment as you raise or lower the guard - Spent $2,600 and they couldn't include the LED light bulb for the worklight...seriously? - Ordered these two machines in December and they did not arrive until May, no joke. These are nothing like the quality of the two other 45 year old Powermatics in our shop... Another good company having their name driven into the ground. DO NOT BUY!”

“The best way I have found to change the drive belt is to find an old sizer lift jack to use. Have the 4 motor bolts just a little less then finger tight so the motor will slide down and up. Place the jack under the motor on level floor and jack up motor to put belt on. Use a small level to make sure motor is level. Next, lower the motor to as tight as the belt will go with out changing to level. Spin the belt by hand and if the belt hold it's groves then tighten the bolts. Worked great on my saw doing all the work by myself. Machine is great, but instruction in manual on this will drive you nuts.”
