About us
Remember WEN? We've been designing and distributing high quality and affordable power tools for decades. Founded by Nick Anton back in 1951, WEN originally made its mark by helping bring tools and electricity together (putting the power into power tools). Our research and development team played a vital role in helping to develop a variety of common everyday tools such as the chainsaw, the electric soldering gun, the electric jigsaw, the electric engraver, and the knife and wet wheel sharpeners. WEN even pioneered random orbital technology; the technology seen in most polishers, waxers, and buffers today that gives cars everywhere the streak free shine they deserve.
Since then, our expertise has expanded to encompass a wide variety of products including drill presses, tool chests, bench grinders, nailers, miter saws, hand tools, generators, and air compressors to name a few. By 2001, only 50 years after our humble beginnings, we had already sold over 50 million consumer units.

Product Description
Remember when you had a saw that was both compact and powerful? The WEN 9-Inch Benchtop Band Saw attacks boards with cuts up to 3-1/2 inches deep and 9 inches wide. The 2.8-amp motor rotates the included 1/4-inch blade at up to 2500 feet per minute. The design of this saw uses 59-1/2-inch blades anywhere from 1/8 to 3/8 inches in width for both intricate and powerful cuts. The spacious work table measures in at 12-1/4 x 11-7/8 inches in size and can be beveled up to 45 degrees. This package includes a miter gauge, an onboard 2-1/2-inch dust port, a fence for creating straight cuts, and an adjustable blade guard with ball-bearing supports. Ball-bearings give the blade smooth operation and a long-lasting life for years of dependable service. And because it’s a WEN product, your WEN 9-Inch Benchtop Band Saw comes backed by a two-year warranty, a stocked inventory of replacement parts, and a friendly customer phone line all to make sure you remember WEN.

Pro's
Easy to access the saw area.
Cut is easy in soft wood.
Metal housing guarding the blade
Dust collecting port.
Smooth tracking.
Con's
Flimsy table alignment (when I used gauge, it was not square)
Flimsy adjustment knobs and Gauge adjustment.
Instructions are vague and they don't state how to level and make it square.
Youtube user showed it "climbed" up a piece being cut and most likely because the blade it not squared. I had to adjust the adjustment height nuts and bolt to get it square.
Not variable speed.
One blade? really? Should have at least one small for cutting curves easier and one larger for large stock.
Fence was not square at install.
I have not had to install another blade but ordered an Olsen as another user suggested since I needed a larger blade. I will update once I get it to let you know if easy/hard to install and adjust.
