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 Founded by Nick Anton back in 1951, WEN originally made its mark by helping bring tools and electricity together (putting the power into power tools).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.

Customers are mixed about the ease of adjustment of the saw.

12 customers mention0 positive12 negative

Customers are dissatisfied with the motor of the saw. They mention that the blade drifts as it passes through the wood, and the whole bearing guide apparatus wiggles when you shift the blade guard. The drive belt keeps slipping the motor wheel, and it tends to wander. The base of the see was bent and would wobble on any flat surface. Customers also say that the motor was still loose, and when the wheel moves vertically, the saw band keeps falling.

"...bandsaw is that when I opened the bottom cage one of the guide bearings was laying loose on the bottom along with it's screw and washer...." Read more

"...Cut amazingly well though it had a tendency for the blade to wander...." Read more

"...Cumbersome tilt table adjustment, 2 locking knobs geared tilt table wobbly when locking knobs loose...." Read more

"...In fact, the motor pulley was entirely out. I had to adjust the motor and realign the wheels so the saw wouldn't come off...." Read more

Overall good value for the money
4 Stars
Overall good value for the money
The only issue I had with the bandsaw is that when I opened the bottom cage one of the guide bearings was laying loose on the bottom along with it's screw and washer. I pulled the blade off but the angle to put the bearing and screw was going to require disassembly of the bottom section. Rather than do that, I simply drilled an access hole in order to be able to get an allen wrench on the set screw and save a bunch of time and headache. There were already adjustment holes, not sure why there wasn't a hole to service the guide bearing in the first place. After assembly and repair, the saw has worked great with no issues and performs like it should.
