two things I learned recently, the bearings on the top and underneath the table portion need to be adjusted to no more than a 16th of an inch from the blade. basically as close as you can get them without them spinning when the saw is turned on. And the other thing was the positioning of the blade on the pulley wheels. Apparently the gullet portion of the blade is what needs to be perfectly center on the wheel. lots of folks think it's the center of the band on the blade that's supposed to be centered in the pulley but this causes lots of wobble. The issues you were dealing with are the same that I was dealing with and it corrected them perfectly! Thanks for your channel!

Hello there, this is a good saw, not as flashy as the Rikon version but very capable. Your pros and cons are pretty good I have been using this model saw for a few years and I love it. My intention was to buy two band saws this one and a large one but honestly this saw is so useful I still haven’t bought a bigger one. So maybe 10” is enough. I generally work with wood that isn’t wider than 6” so it will fit my jointer and this little saw can resaw 6” hardwood all day. I use 3/8 3PC and a 1/2 3PC blade from Timber Wolf to resaw and it cuts with ease. My main general use blades a 1/8 & 3/8 blades and they cut clean. You are sort of right about dust collection and I never calibrate the fence ruler but the fence is great sets up easily and stays true. One small gripe is to open the bottom door you have to loosen the fence clamp as it blocks the door that’s a problem if you have a tricky set up for multiple cuts. I made a handle that is out or the way of the door. I don’t like the non magnetic aluminum table and the non standard miter slot but I made a sled with runners for the slots and it works great. I found that positioning the work light out and away from the cutting area works best. This saw punches above its weight and I love it.

Great Video!

Great video. I recently bought the Craftex CX118. It's a Canadian company but looks to be the identical saw. I assume they're all made in the same factory with different paint lol. I really did not expect it to be so underpowered though. I'm coming from a slightly larger saw (14" King Canada), but was much older and missing parts. I actually came across your video as I was looking for tips and tricks to get mine working a bit better. didn't expect to see the identical saw!

Is 10 inches enough well that depends on the thickness…of the wood
