QD-KYOHO 14-Inch Bandsaw
Score: 82/100Rankings
The QD-KYOHO QBS-14" is a heavy-duty 14-inch dual-speed bandsaw designed for serious woodworking, featuring a powerful 2 HP motor and a solid cast iron table. Its single-phase 120V motor and lack of integrated dust collection are notable trade-offs for its power and stability. It is best suited for intermediate to professional woodworkers needing resaw capacity up to 13 inches.
The Baileigh BS-127P-1.0 is a lightweight, portable metal-cutting band saw ideal for hobbyists and small shop owners needing occasional cuts up to 5 inches. Its main trade-off is the lower 0.5 HP motor power, which limits its effectiveness on heavy-duty or thick metal stocks. It is best suited for DIY fabrication and on-site maintenance repairs where portability is key.
