I just picked up a used Jet JBS-14CS bandsaw Model M-708314 this morning for $150.00. MUUUHAHAHAHA! It needs new tires (I'm gonna go with Urethane) and I will post pics next week after I get and install them. It pays to be patient when shopping for used tools.

Great deal Tim! Patience is always rewarded.

Congrats Tim. Be waiting for the pics.

Thats a great buy Tim, how did you find it. I've been looking for a deal on a bandsaw as well.

tim lemley · 01-20-2008, 06:09 PM

Thanks for the advice Kristin, however, you dont glue the Urethane tires (you soak them in hot soapy water then stretch them over the wheels) and as I am not going for original correctness, I will defer to the overwhelming evidence that I've read on the various websites from other users as to the advantages. I do appreciate your comments however and I will report back to you guys on how it goes.
Thanks for responding!

I humbly stand before you today; hat in hand, foot in mouth to let you all know that after all my gum flapping and bragging so gleefully at the start of this thread that I must now report a minor glitch in my prized find.

After purchasing new tires and while removing the wheels to install them I noticed the distinct sound of something metallic tumbling and bouncing it’s way to my shop floor. Thinking I had dropped a metallic spacer, I finished removing the wheel and then to my great disappointment found the source. A couple pieces of the wheel shaft hinge and sliding bracket (These work to tilt the wheel when making tracking adjustments and the upper wheel shaft passes thru here). I will be contacting the manufacturer tomorrow for replacement parts.

Never let it be said that I have never tasted crow. After all, my good taste in fine culture is only exceeded by my ability to belch in rapid succession.

Well said Tim, now do be careful and watch you're fingers when it's up and going!!!!

tim lemley · 01-28-2008, 04:04 PM

Thanks Harry. Will do. Called Jet, I should have my parts in 4 to 5 days. $37.00.
I still feel good about this but will keep my tastebuds tuned for crow, just in case!
