Tools and Hardware Reviews of Skil 3385-02 120-Volt 9-Inch Band Saw

Customer Review: Good for wood, bad for metal
Summary: 4 Stars

Took me about 5 hours to adjust and align everything because the instructions were so vague, but once I got it together it fired right up. Make sure you tighten everything down good or it will rattle bad. Wood cuts perfect, and it's runs shockingly quiet, however when cutting metal (I tried brass tubing), it ran extremely loud and the cut was far from straight. Couldn't see a difference in the speeds, and it doesn't say which is fast or slow.

Pros:
-Mostly cast and machined metal body and parts
-Runs quietly with wood
-Light weight
-Can be bolted down to work surface
-Table guide and backboard included
-Laser is dead on accurate
-Comes assembled except for table (easily bolts on, set up took 10 minutes)

Cons:
-Cheap red plastic cover (works though)
-Light is horrible
-Takes awhile to set up and align the blade and wheels
-Vague instructions

For the money it's a great option for small wooden and aluminum projects, but I would suggest a different blade for metal work.
