But the instructions that came with it were not as helpful as they should be. No online help or phone number to call. ### ⭐ Disappointing *by R***Y on January 3, 2019* The saw arrived in good shape, and went together quickly. The instructions aren't clear, but barely sufficient to get it the machine assembled. Unfortunately, the upper guide housing is poorly secured, which will no doubt weaken with use. When the saw is turned on, the table vibrates and shakes, making precise feed to the blade disconcerting. The fence is poorly engineered and constructed, specifically the flimsy bracket that grips the outfeed side of the table. I realize the 90-040 is an economical solution for those wanting an entry level stationary band saw, however, I believe the substandard construction will only frustrate the user and worsen over time. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/72152608-general-international-12-wood-cutting-bandsaw-2-3-hp-floor](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/72152608-general-international-12-wood-cutting-bandsaw-2-3-hp-floor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
