    Comments about Powermatic 14" Bandsaw, Model PWBS-14CS :

    Great saw. My first "real" bandsaw and I'm impressed. The only issue I had was the lower trust bearing barely has enough clearance for my 3/4" resaw blade, but I'm pushing the limit of the saw so I really can't complain. Love it and look forward to creating dust for years to come!!!

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Powermatic 14" Bandsaw, Model PWBS-14CS :

    I completed a lot of research prior to making my final purchase decision. I went with the PowerMatic due to its performance in history/quality. This being my first bandsaw, I found the assembly required was more than for one person. The overall design is very good. I did have problems in various adjustments mostly due to access and getting use to the machine. One alan wrench was missing from the tool set but, I had enough hand tools to take care of this issue. Getting tension set for the motor was a little difficult due to the small space through the back door, for access. After working with the trunnion mount and extension table, I finally got the saw squared up and both tables level. It takes a little getting familiar with this new saw, in order to get it setup to make straight cuts. My first experience in replacing the original 3/8" blade with a 1/2", took a little effort but, good experience. Use gloves to work with the adjustment of the new blade. Taking time to adjust the upper and lower bearing blade guides makes a big difference in cut performance. I even called and talked to a tech and he was very helpful. He gave me some helpful hints on adjustments. Now I'm ready to do some projects. I really like the quality of this saw and want to switch over to 220 volt. That seems to be more trouble because, of the small access space to the motor in order to switch the wires. Plus you need to either use a 220 volt bulb for the lamp or ground one leg of the lamp on the 120 volt side.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

    Comments about Powermatic 14" Bandsaw, Model PWBS-14CS :

    I am a serious non-professional. I bought mine several months ago and it works great. Powerful, and accurate. The blade that comes with it has proven to be a good one. The blade tracks very well. Something you would expect from a good machine. I assembled this myself, I recommend you use two people as it is a heavy assembly. I would suggest you purchase the mobile base. I did and it is sturdy and makes movement easy. I don't usually move it, but due to my shop size I sometimes need to. I have the Riser block, but have not installed it yet, I can see it would work nicely if you are re-cutting boards etc.

    Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
