Is Jet a good bandsaw?
Is Jet a good bandsaw?
First the good news: This bandsaw is easy to set up, and it’s easy to adjust the blade guides and thrust bearings, and easy to adjust the tracking. The tilting table works very well. I like the quick tension release lever, and I love the 12″ resaw capacity. The saw has plenty of power to handle that, too.
What size blade does a 14 inch jet bandsaw take?
Powerful 1 HP Motor for Fast Results The JWBS-14CS owes its robust performance to a 1 HP engine that moves the blade at a speedy 3,000 strokes per minute for fast, efficient results. And thanks to the included 3/8-inch, 6.0 TPI woodworking blade, you can start cutting right out of the box.
How much tension should a bandsaw blade be?
Finding the right tension Most blade manufacturers recommend 15,000 psi to 20,000 psi for a common carbon-steel blade. However, bimetal, spring-steel, and carbide-tipped blades are much stronger than carbon-steel blades, so manufacturers recommend a much higher tension: 25,000 psi to 30,000 psi.
