Purchased new.

Positives:

• Packed well, machine was insulated/protected well from outside damage.
• All the parts were there, assembly was a breeze! all in all about 1 hour.
• Table surface was in good order and smooth.
• Manual was easy to read.
• 1hp is ample and results in a lot of power for resawing, and delicate scrolling.
• Tilting table mechanism is adequate and stable.

Negatives:

• The blade pocket in the table was slightly deeper than the removable insert and required a minor filing with a rat tail to round over the edges. (we are talking some 0.003 +/-, just enough that a sharp edge of a maple or oak would catch after passing the blade)
• Had to tweak the guide bearings and the cool blocks.

• Two people!!! the cabinet and motor are easy, but, that darn head stock is a tad more than one person should try!!!
• Sulfolk blades.
• Roll around base or make sure you have a flat floor.

I would recommend to anyone to check out Jet cabinet band saws.
