I'm looking for a cheap, light duty bandsaw to cut my headphone blocks up and rounding off and wondered what the general opinion (if any) was on the Jet jwbs-100s.
It's not going to see huge amounts of work and it will basically be cutting 4" blocks in half and rounding the corners off before turning. Four inches is the most it will ever see and that's just inside it's limits. At the moment I'm either parting or doing multiple TS cuts, which on a small 4x4x3" block is scary business. A bandsaw looks like the ideal tool for my needs and don't want to spend large chunks of cash on it.
Will this one do the job?
