$20 Bandsaw: Good Deal or Garbage?

I have the exact same saw but mine is a 10". The blade tension is: once the spring make contact go another Three Turns, I usually go 3 1/2 turns on mine, I can't believe how much I use this over my larger saws, if the piece will fit I go to this saw first and I love it.

I just found one in the alley almost brand knew just like yours and I love it. For sure it's a keeper but it's missing the measurement piece.

Thank you for this video. Very helpful and informative. I have the 9” Delta 28-150. Trying to get it into workable condition. My blade shifted to the right and when I tried to lock it down the white plastic collar piece inside the guide broke in half on my machine when I took it apart to inspect it. Any ideas where I can buy this part from? In not I guess I’ll try to epoxy it.

I have the same model I bought some 18 years ago, had it stored and completely forgotten about it. Now I am restoring the the tires for the wheels but need to replace the drive belt. Can you share links on how to do that? I appreciate it and thank you!

I've only just seen this. Is there a lower blade guide and bearing below the table? There is on mine.

Good deal.
I don’t need to watch.

Tiny bandsaws do some fantastic things for little things- architecturally cut wood shingles, small aluminum brackets or parts, kerfing turned spindles for blind wedges; I could go on a long time. My tiny one is a harvor fright that cost me $59 over twenty years ago. It needs new tires and I need some new fine blades. Won’t replace a ‘real’ bandsaw but it’s stinkin’ handy portable and tiny footprint.
