Review on High-Performance Bosch BS80 6W Bandsaw - 80 Inch 4 Inch Blades by Chuck Chen

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I had a preconceived notion that an 18 tooth would be too slow, but a 6 tooth would be better. Well

Not having a 12 inch band saw I borrowed one and bought this saw to cut small parts. I had a preconceived notion that an 18 tooth saw would be too slow and a 6 tooth would be better. I was wrong. The results were terrible. The bit was three times larger than necessary, so the results were ragged and unusable. Had to go back to the owner's blade which wasn't as slow as I expected and did a great job. Maybe it would be okay if Bosch pulled the set out of its teeth, but by the looks of it, it's not worth six bucks to buy.

Pros
  • Blades
Cons
  • Non-Automatic
