Is the Hercules Portable Bandsaw ACTUALLY Worth It? - Harbor Fright Review 59229

[@f14tomcataocretired95]

Outstanding video, well documented and explained! Just got mine and ready to assemble. Any problems, I can refer to this but I think it will be easy. Impressed by the 3/8" block it cut. Have a great Navy Day!

Thanks, glad you liked it! I haven't had any problems yet. Super handy little saw to have around!

Your video helped me very much for assembling the Harbor Freight bandsaw on a HB universal bandsaw stand. The user's manual that comes with the items are not very helpful. Many subtle points you mention in the video were not either present or glossed over in the manuals. What was particularly helpful was to see you make a final decision to use the saw just in a vertical mode and set aside the additional hardware attached in the stand for the horizontal operation. I wouldn't have the confidence to just remove the extra hardware on my own. You see, I am just an ordinary DIY woodworker (with a need to optimize the limited time available for hobbies) who happened to purchase a heftier than needed tool for my needs. In retrospect, this was an excellent and most economical purchase. Thank you for posting the video. Very, very useful.

[@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS]

[@waynekorzan2496]

Haha! My sister says hi back!

[@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS]

Ha, was wondering if people would catch that.

[@MegaWildweasel]

once you have a protaband it is a game changer.

[@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS]

I am REALLY happy with it so far!

[@TimMoody-ud3ti]

Just got me one for home use, like it very well!

[@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS]

Cool. I've gotten a lot of use out of mine too!!

[@zbow1974]

i own the corded and cordless versions, i have no regret's, use them both on a daily bases so much so that i done went through a battery on the cordless version.

[@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS]

I bet that cordless one comes in handy!

[@AIRBORNE916]

I’m trying to choose between the two. Is the power the same?

[@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS]

@@AIRBORNE916 Sorry, I only have the corded one.

[@karljay7473]

I got the battery operated one, it didn't come with a plastic case. I think you change my mind on buying the stand versus making one

[@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS]

It sure made setup a breeze!

[@raymondolivares1093]

The stand is on sale for 89.99

[@karljay7473]

@@raymondolivares1093 I ended up getting one. I have to say it's pretty awesome overall. Nice that it's a 2N1, a cutoff and a bench top scroll saw. I don't know what the two extra holes are for in that 1/4" plate. There's a bracket that lines up with it, and two screws, but what does it do? Note: there's two screw holes and one slot for two more screws. The two holes don't seem to be used for anything. Maybe a carry over from a prior design? Good heavy metal and good design.

[@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS]

@@karljay7473 great deal!

[@PersononYT56]

Bought both on their black friday special. Spent around $220 and now i have a vertical bandsaw. it doesnt cut as well as my milwaukee but its better than i could have ever hoped for

[@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS]

Cool. Ya, I was really impressed with mine. A lot of fun for the $$$$

[@robsplace3589]

I can just imagine you as a kid on Christmas morning 😅😅

[@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS]

Ha! Probably looked like that unboxing 🤣

[@wt9653]

My dog makes less mess than the way you ripped the boxes open.😅

[@BIGFOOTBIKESANDBREWS]

🤣🤣🤣 Love it!!!
