Does anyone have experience with this bandsaw? It says it is a Kawasaki
brand. I thought it was Japanese, but the salesperson says it is made
in China.

I currently have a harborfreight bandsaw. I have used it for nearly 5
years, but I am not too happy with the way the blade rides on the
wheels. The balde seems to wander quite a bit, and sometimes it even
slips off the wheels. I am not looking for high quality stuff, but
something middle of the road for occasional home use.
Thanks.

You already have one saw that you are not happy with, yet you consider
another?
Think Delta, Jet, Grizzly 14" models and stop playing with toys.
Shows to go ya, I also have a HF 14" (assume yours is 14") bandsaw, while
not the greatest, have had no problems with it. QC at HF is very hit &
miss. All tools need to be examined before purchase.
