There are only a few pieces to assemble on the Allwin BS0902 band saw, but they are critical, in particular the blade and the table. The saw’s two-door cabinet opens up without tools. Inside the cabinet are two aluminum wheels and ball-bearing supports. You’ll need to lower the lever on the back of the saw to lower the top wheel.

Simply feed the blade of the Allwin BS0902 band saw through the blade guide assembly and around the wheels and shift the blade in the center of the wheels. You can fine-tune the blade tracking with an adjustment knob also located on the back of the saw. Even if your blade tracking is a little off at this point, raise the lever to raise the top wheel. Then, spin the lower wheel by hand while using the tracking knob to get the blade centered.

When you reach for the power switch, you’ll noticed a yellow key. This key is a safety feature that must be inserted in the power switch for the saw to work. Without it, the saw can be plugged in but still inoperable. The benefits are obvious but the downside is clear – it would be easy to lose this little key. Just be sure to know where you put it when you’re done for the day.

Although most work is done with the table at 90 degrees to the blade, this little band saw has an adjustable rack and pinion table for bevels up to 45 degrees. Once you do, you can use the adjustment lever to loosen the table and create bevel angles. You can make cross cuts using the included miter gauge guide at 90 degrees or miters using its simple adjustment knob.

Before buying a full-sized tool, the Allwin BS0902 9-inch band saw provides a great way for aspiring amateur carpenters to hone their craft.
