sonstantly shuts itself off
 
Review Date: July 30, 2010
Reviewer: B. Battin, New Mexico, USA
This saw seemed fine when I tested it, but then I used it for an actual project. Although the motor wasn't straining, it shut ifself off. I reset it, and in a minute or so, it did it again. Pretty soon, it was constantly shutting itself off. I can't get anything done with it.
Too small to be useful
 
Review Date: May 15, 2010
Reviewer: Paul Litsky,
1) I bought the Skil 9 inch band saw believing that the 9 inches referred to the "throat". That is, I would be able to cut pieces of wood 9 inches tall. Actually, it only cuts wood up to 3 inches tall. The 9 inches refers to the distance from the blade to the saw body. 3 inches is not enough for most people (including myself). I'm a wood turner and this is not the table saw for me.

2) During any decent sized cut the saw stalls out 3 or 4 times. The wood has to be taken out, the saw reset, and then it will cut again. This process makes for very uneven cuts.

3) The included fence is a joke. I cannot get a clean square cut using the supplied fence.

Bottom line, I'm keeping the saw only because it would cost too much to return it and I may have some use for it doing very small carpentry projects. But I am not at all satisfied.
band saw - Broken!

Reviewer: Richard Sutherland,
Don't buy this. Worst excuse for packaging- no protection. Foot was broken off upon arrival. Saw did work, but not broken would be good...Factory-Reconditioned Skil 3385-01-RT 2.5 Amp 9-Inch Band Saw
Initial Quirks, But Has Decent Potential
 
Review Date: March 8, 2010
Reviewer: Fred Anonymous Smith, Central Europe
The bandsaw (shifting around loosely inside the box) arrived in fairly decent condition, which is amazing given how poorly this heavy item was packed. However, I very quickly ran into a couple of problems. First, the bandsaw initially vibrated pretty severely. After checking wheel balance and other, this was finally resolved by replacing the provided blade with a better quality product. Also decided on a 14-tpi blade to better handle metal as well as wood.

Second, both blades (provided and new replacement) refused to track in the center of the lower wheel. After repeated adjustments and trying various suggestions found on the internet, I noticed the crown (or hump) on the lower rubber tire was off-centered, with the blade actually tracking perfectly on that crown. Since the blade is not hitting the metal wheel at this point and the saw is cutting well enough, that will have to be the way it is until a replacement tire arrives (on order).

Overall, I'm fairly satisfied with this bandsaw and suspect (once initial quirks are worked out) it will provide years of reliable service.

SKIL's Smartcharge System™ is Energy Star certified.
Innovative Features and Benefits
The circular, rotating blade easily powers through materials up to 1/4 inch thick while the AutoSharp blade system keeps the blade sharp for repetitive use. The Power Cutter uses an integrated 3.6-volt lithium-ion battery which can hold a charge up to 18 months, so it's always ready when it's needed. Weighing less than a pound with an ergonomic soft-grip handle, the power cutter is easy to handle and eliminates the fatigue experienced with standard scissors, making it ideal for people with arthritis.

The Power Cutter also incorporates a blade guard to minimize the possibility of accidents, unlike traditional utility knives that can be dangerous. The Power Cutter is incredibly versatile; cutting carpeting and carpet padding, vinyl flooring, wallpaper, and contact paper with ease. The Power Cutter is also perfect for a number of fabrics including leather, suede, canvas, and denim. For arts and crafts, you can cut through card stock, poster, and foam board, even felt. It can also replace scissors for a precise edge when cutting wrapping paper or bubble wrap.

SKIL Smartcharge Battery System
As with all of SKIL's lithium-ion tools, the SKIL Power Cutter features the SKIL Smartcharge System, which allows the tool to be plugged into the charger indefinitely without damage to the battery. A battery fuel gauge located on top of tool indicates that tool is charged and a built-in hang hole makes the tool easy to store in your workshop or garage.
