Review on Bosch BS9312 15S 2 Inch 8 Inch Bandsaw by Scott Rodriguez

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Was too long good for blades

Blade wasn't 93.5 inches. It took over an hour and I knocked out the blade tensioning system on my bandsaw to finally determine this. I drove 45 minutes to Low as the one next to me didn't have 1/8" blades, only Bosch blades so I took another chance. This blade was the right length, but a bad weld caused it to wobble so much it couldn't be used. After those blades and another bad experience with a Bosch random orbit sander, I'm done with it. It's a shame, because I always found Bosch a little better, but apparently not more. I would return it but honestly I don't think it's worth my time. Received an Olsen blade from a friend, perfect size, great weld, same price, and the project was complete.

Pros
  • Optimized tooth geometry for better performance
Cons
  • New competitors appeared
