: I have their 16 inch, 2 hp band saw. Price was right compared to Delta, etc. No problems with it, but as mentioned by several people, lots of assembly. Not terribly acurate on some of the tapped holes, etc., and some bolts missing. I am interested in their belt/disk sanders as well. Any more info from anybody wood be great. I will primarily be grinding/finishing steel with it. Knives mostly.

I have their 3 HP Unisaw knock-off. It works fine ( especially for the
: price). The fence is so-so. ( I keep promising myself a good aftermarket
: fence) My only caveat is that I spent hours putting it together. I had to
: GREATLY enlarge the holes on the lower( cabinet ) portion in order to get
: the t-slots to line up with the blade. This just didn't instill a ton of
: confidence. That being said, I've put in many hours on it in the past ten
: years, with no problems or breakdowns-----so I guess that for $825 I'm
: doing alright.
