I love this benchtop band saw, it fits in my small space. It cuts clean and fast. I ordered a rip fence because it didn’t come with one (wish it did, but no biggie). This saw has a smart design that allows for personalization. I bought a couple of different size blades. I use this to cut some 2×4 and some 4×4 no problem. To say I am happy with this saw is an understatement.

Llegó bien escuadrada y no fue difícil instalarla. La use para cortar varias figuras en pino de 3/4 de pulgadas y las cortó como mantequilla. Tenía miedo de probarla en una madera dura de mi región llamada Tzalam, pero la probé cortando un grosor de 1″ y le costó un poco más de trabajo pero aún muy satisfecho con el desempeño.

I was hesitant to buy this, specifically after reading negative reviews about it being under powered. I’m just a weekend DIY guy so I’m not processing trees into furniture grade lumber or anything, but this thing is pretty decent. It took a bit of fiddling with the blade to get it aligned properly but once I did, this thing cuts great. Just to see if I was going to keep it I ran a bunch of random scrap wood pieces through it and it never bogged once. I mean it’s a little saw so use your head and consider your use case before you buy but for me it does a stellar job. I wish it had a fence and a work light hence the 4 stars. Otherwise, no regrets.

I use the saw in my workshop. My shop is small so the saw is the right size for my workbench

Got this for our son in law for Christmas! He was very happy! He says it is a brand name he trusts.

I use this to cut out my kydex holsters and its extremely fast and easy to use. Setup took 5 minutes, much better than a scroll saw.

My 30-40 year old full sized bandsaw died and I decided to down-size. I shopped around and chose this one for its features. Am I glad I made a good decision. It had no rip-fence, but I made a clamp on fence that is self-squaring (see photo). This saw does everything I want it to do, and has features I didn’t have on my old dinosaur that I replaced.

I’m never quite sure what to leave in a review like this, or if I should leave one at all. The product (or at the very least the box) came damaged. It was smashed in on one whole side, upon opening, the styrofoam on the inside was broken as well, and I could hear metal parts jangling around. I wouldn’t buy it from a brick and mortar store, so back it went. I’ve kept damaged products in the past where I didn’t see any damage, and it came back to bite me well after the return window.
I have several Skil products (a drill press, a router, router table, drills and the like) and I am a big fan, they have never let me down. They are all quality products from the budget price range. I obviously can’t tell where in the process the box took the hit (as a former factory guy, it looks to me like someone got in a hurry on the forklift) so based on previous Skil performance I will assume it’s a 5 star tool and I got a bad beat. I don’t want to leave a bad review for something that might not have been Skil’s doing.
