JET 708115K JWBS-14CS 14-Inch 1 Horsepower Woodworking Bandsaw with Graphite Guide Blocks, 115/230-Volt 1 Phase Description

This handy tool includes a fully enclosed stand and dust chute, requires minimal set-up time out of the box, and provides years of solid, heavy-duty use.


The JET JWBS-14CS 14-Inch Woodworking Bandsaw with Graphite Guide Blocks offers:

  • A 15 x 15-inch offset table for more work area

Large Tilting Table and High Resaw Capacity for Flexibility
The JWBS-14CS gives you plenty of space and the necessary capacity to take on a range of projects. It offers a six-inch depth resaw capacity for cutting larger pieces of wood, 6 x 13-1/2-inch cutting capacity, and a generously sized, 15 x 15-inch offset cast-iron table for more work area in front of the blade. The table also tilts 45 degrees to the right and 10 degrees to the left to accommodate a range of materials and jobs.

Cast-Iron Frame and Balanced Wheels for Vibration-Free Operation
Boasting cast-iron frame construction for strength and rigidity, as well as reduced vibration, the JWBS-14CS provides smooth operation for optimum control and consistent results. Precision computer balanced wheels also spin without vibration, ensuring accurate blade tracking.

Heat- and Friction-Reducing Blades for Longer Tool Life
Designed to stand up to years of heavy use, the JWBS-14CS features a micro-adjustable lower blade guide to reduce friction for longer blade life, as well as graphite-impregnated polymer blade guides with roller bearing thrust guides for both quicker set-up and a cooler running blade. By reducing heat, these guides help prevent damage and wear and tear that can compromise the resiliency of the machine.

Durable Metal Housing and Quick-Connect Plug for Durability and Ease-of-Use
The JWBS-14CS boasts heavy-gauge metal housing and a powder coating (rather than paint), which helps the saw hold up to frequent use without chipping or flaking. Another helpful feature is the quick-connect electrical plug, so you don't have to follow long cords to their outlets before each blade change.

Powerful 1 HP Motor for Fast Results
The JWBS-14CS owes its robust performance to a 1 HP engine that moves the blade at a speedy 3,000 strokes per minute for fast, efficient results. And thanks to the included 3/8-inch, 6.0 TPI woodworking blade, you can start cutting right out of the box.

Safe, User-Friendly Design
Designed to be as user-friendly as it is powerful, this bandsaw comes complete with a four-inch dust port that allows for direct connection of a dust collection system, which is key to keeping your workspace clear so your visibility isn't impaired by debris. Additionally, a single knob tracking adjustment simplifies the blade tracking process for safe operation.

The JWBS-14CS measures 26 x 68 x 19 inches (WxHxL), weighs 185 pounds, and is backed by a five-year warranty.

About JET: A History of Sharing New, Feature-Rich Products
Opened in 1958 after the founder of the company, Leslie P. Sussman, took the first Boeing Jet Airplane trip from Seattle, Washington to Japan, JET began as a small dealer that sold air hoists and trolleys out of a single hardware store in Seattle. Over the years, JET has carried everything from snowmobiles, transmitter radios, and forklifts to nylon stockings, but by the early 1970s, metalworking had become the base of their business line. And by the 1980s, JET had expanded into the realm of woodworking. Today, you'll find that JET offers a wide range of popular woodworking tools that are backed with best-in-class features and excellent service.

What's in the Box

Look Elsewhere, This thing is no good Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5Average rating of 1/5
I bought this saw three years ago and have had nothing but problems since.

I also have a Jet tablesaw -- which I love -- that led to me purchasing this bandsaw.

For the money, this saw should come better built, better-equipped, and/or better-priced.

It lacks decent blade bearings -- so add to purchase price $100+ for Carter bearings. Also add the extension pack for resawing -- another $50-$100, plus blades.
It lacks a blade de-tensioner, add another $150.

It does not come balanced and will shake like crazy, so add your time to balance the wheels.

The dust extraction is a joke and it has nothing to clean the dust off the bottom wheel as it is working -- add your time to resolve that.

The hardware that they use to get the blade tensioner is third-rate and I am replacing it for the third time.

All-in-all, I wish I had bought the Laguna -- my buddy has one for less than I sank into this machine and his is reliable.

The only positive note I have to add, is that when it is running nicely, after much tuning, it does work well -- but that doesn't seem to last too long a time.

Good luck,
Erik.

I have had the Jet bandsaw for over a year. I have used to resaw 2x4 pine boards to build a fence. It has done well to resaw hardwoods such a oak and birch. It has all the power needed to resaw a 6" oak board. I also make boxes which I cut curves in a 6" thick piece of hardwood with no problems. I would recommend spending the extra money to get the 1 hp motor instead of the 3/4 hp. The guides adjust quickly and the blade tracks well. The only problem I have had is the blade tensioner broke after approximately 6 months. Jet quickly sent a new part and it was easy to replace. I have been very happy with this product and I use it all the time.

Dust collection usless Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5
I bought this bandsaw through Woodcraft. At the time it was $549.99 with free shipping, $50.00 rebate AND free miter gauge and fence. A great deal I figured.
This saw has quickly become one of my shops most valued tool. It performs flawlessly and it's a pleasure to use. Most of my sawing is for resawing Cherry 5/4 into veneer. I want to stretch the cherry wood I had milled four years ago from trees that were cut on my property. It does the job perfectly for that.
I only have two beefs with Jet. One, is the 4 inch dust collection outlets is absolutely useless. It's on the side above where dust wants to settle therefore most of my dust is either on top of the cast iron bed or slips through the bottom where the door opens to alloy you to change blades. It's either that or my Jet dust collector is crap. The latter is not the case because that works great for my other tools in removing dust and chips in my shop.
The other complaint is the jet blade that comes with the saw. Junk, junk, junk. Throw it away before you make your first cut. I ordered and installed an Olson blade and man, what a huge difference and they are inexpensive too. I can't imagine what an expensive blade would do.
Anyway, if you're thinking of buying it just do it. Your gonna love it.

Good value, easy set up. Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5
This unit is shipped in two carton; base unit and upper saw unit. All parts necessary for assembly were in the box. The assembly and alignment instructions were clear and well written. Total set up time from cutting open the box to cutting the first board was under an hour. Note that it does take two people to handle the upper saw unit safely.
The machine was aligned right "out of the box." The only adjustment I had to make was to the table stop, and that is because you have to install the stop with the table off and adjust it after the table is on. Three tries and it was right on the money. The blade was pre-installed, tensioned, and the tracking was dead center. All I had left to do was hook it up my dust collector, plug it in and start cutting.
Overall the fit and finish was very good. Note that some of the mounting points were a bit difficult to get the bolt or knob snugged down without applying a lot of effort. This seems to be due to paint fouling the threads. Also, you will need metric tools to do the assembly.
For a machine in this price range I think it's a good value.


Jet 14" Bandsaw review Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5Average rating of 4/5
For the small amount of time that I have owned this product I have enjoyed it quite well. Set-up was easy and the instructions were easy to follow. However, because the tires that the blade runs on are concave and not flat, I cannot use a 1/8" scroll blade on the machine as the blade will travel to either one side or the other of the wheel and then come off. But other than that I am happy with the product.
