JET JWBS-15 15-inch woodworking bandsaw for resawing hardwood in a workshop
Jet · Bandsaws

JET JWBS-15

The JET JWBS-15 earns its place on build quality and a five year warranty, but its 1.75 HP motor makes the 14 inch resaw a ceiling rather than a promise, so a resaw-first shop should step up to the JWBS-15-3.

  • 14 in. cutting capacity height and 14-1/8 in. throat depth
  • 1.75 HP motor, wired for 115/230 V single phase

JET JWBS-18SFX-3 18-inch woodworking bandsaw for resawing hardwood, floor-standing 3 HP model
Jet · Bandsaws

JET JWBS-18SFX-3

The resaw saw JET's 15 inch model is not, with 16 inches of capacity and a 3 HP motor to use it, but only worth buying with 230 volt service and a 20 amp circuit already in the shop.

  • 16 in. resaw height under an 18 in. throat depth
  • 3 HP motor on 230 V single phase input power
  • Takes a 150 in. blade from 1/8 in. to 1-1/4 in. wide

RIKON 10-1414 14 inch Deluxe bandsaw with cast iron trunnion and enclosed steel cabinet base
RIKON · Bandsaws

RIKON 14 Deluxe (10-1414)

The RIKON 14 Deluxe is the honest 14 inch saw: a real 14 inch resaw on a cast iron trunnion and dual voltage, held back only by the 1.75 HP motor that makes that resaw a ceiling for the occasional cut.

  • 14 inch resaw height under the guides and 13-5/8 inch cutting width to the frame
  • 1-3/4 HP TEFC motor runs on dual voltage, 115/230V, 60Hz, single phase

WEN BA3962 10-inch two-speed band saw mounted on its included floor stand with worklight
WEN · Bandsaws

WEN BA3962

The WEN BA3962 is an honest 10 inch bandsaw for a shop with no spare 230 volt circuit, held to 6 inches of resaw by its size. The motor is not what limits it.

  • 3.5 amp motor creates cuts up to six inches deep and 9-3/4 inches wide
  • Uses 72-inch blades anywhere from 1/8 to 1/2 inches in size
  • Operates at two speeds of either 1520 or 2620 FPM
WEN BA1487 14-inch two-speed band saw with black stand and cast-aluminum table, front view
WEN · Bandsaws

WEN BA1487

The WEN BA1487 draws less current than the two deeper-resawing saws on this shelf, 9.5 amps on a standard outlet, for 8.85 inches of resaw rather than a genuine 14.

  • 9.5-amp motor creates cuts up to 8.85 inches deep and 13-3/8 inches wide
  • Uses 100-3/4-inch blades anywhere from 1/8 to 1 inch wide
  • Operates at two speeds of either 1480 or 3280 FPM
