I haven't forgotten about this, and have gotten sidetracked a bit as I spent most of my budget on other items I needed (clearance tool cabinet and shop lights) I've seen some comments about motors burning up, smoking, and overall being a potential fire hazard. I've looked at all the bandsaws I've been able to find and it seems most do not list any certification or UL listing at all with a couple exceptions.? Shop Fox at least comes right out and says their saw is not certified at all.?
?
Jet HVBS-56 is UL listed
General International BS5205 says ETL certification on their website and CSA listing in the manual.? Unclear which it is.?
?
wisdom indicates it would be best to get a unit that has undergone testing to make sure it's safeish.? I'm sure I could unplug the saw after each use, but history tells me I'm not always good with this.? How big a deal is this really???
