Jet - Jet JWBS-14DX 14-in. Bandsaw
Jet’s JWBS-14DX 14-in. bandsaw features a 1-1/4 hp motor, a 12-1/8 in. resaw capacity once a riser block is added, and a quick-release tension device.

Wheel misalignment and lack of power are the big issues with the Jet. It performed well in all the curve-cutting tests, but if you plan to do a lot of resawing, this machine is not your best bet.

Wow, probably the most lack luster review I’ve found from Fine fine woodworking yet. Almost seems like their was zero effort applied
This was part of a tool test of many saws, so the write-ups are shorter.
