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.

This was part of a tool test of many saws, so the write-ups are shorter.
