Fisch16"Band Saw- More than I hoped for
I was in the market for a new band saw so I decided to attend a traveling woodworking show held near Orlando.I looked at all the band saws and was not happy with the prices I was going to pay for the features and quality I wanted until I visited the Fisch booth.I had already purchased a Fisch lathe and drill press and was surprised to see a new band saw being offered.This is the first year Fisch has offered it.Am I glad I went to the show. The fit and finish of Fisch's band saw at $1,000 and features like 12" of re-saw capability, a solid steel frame (weighs 400 lbs.), a sweet deluxe fence system that comes standard along with a roller ball bearing guide systemand plenty of power when I fitted it with a 3/4" blade.I chose a 3/4" 3 tooth skip blade and can re-saw heavy, dense woods easily. My shop is wired for 220 volts.The Fisch band saw comes pre-wired for 110/115 volts but can be easily re-wired for 220 by following a simple diagram on the inside of the junction box cover plate.The motor also has two capacitors. Considering my great experience with the other Fisch products, I shouldn't have been surprised at how much better this machine is, but I was.I would highlyreccommend this machine over others and you can save yourself $400-$600 ...

Thank you Tom!
I love this machine! I bought this DP soley on the basis of Tom Frederiksen's review and I am very happy I did. Just what I wanted - A well made bench drill press with 85lbs of substance and no plastic anything. I even think it looks good - manly not wimpy. I looked at the Delta's at Lowe's and there is no comparison. Easy to set up right out of the box with a few screws to attach things. Depth stop adjustment is solid and easy. Belt easy to adjust. Can't beat the price and even better there is no delivery charge with this monster. Buy it now and you even get $25 off.

Good tool for the money
I had a two hundred dollar Gift Certificate from Amazon sitting around and decided to get a new bench top drill press. Read all the reviews and quickly decided against Delta products. I happened on this one and said..."oh what the heck, I'm feeling lucky"...and lucky I was.

When I opened the box I noticed that it was made in China, (not such a bad thing anymore), I felt bad. Thinking of all those kids chained to benches making them, slaving away for peanuts. But I quickly got over that as I noticed how well packed it was!. I don't like to assemble things, but this was a snap, just a few things to do and clearly indicated on the instruction book. All pieces were oiled and wrapped for shipment....don't see that anymore.

I was looking for a heavy drill press without all the cheap plastic do-dads that Delta and others put on. I just want to make holes. This unit will do it. Easy belt adjustment for changing speeds. If looks are more important than function to you, don't buy this. This is just a well made heavy drill press. Nice oversize handles, great depth stop adjustment. One thing to mention. As it is metal and not plastic, the first 50 or so reps pulling down the handles you might experience some resistance. This worked itself away as I used the machine and the gears began to meld...considering the price...five stars. ... Read more

Great Splitter
After facing two back surgeries in two years, and hand splitting wood for 40 years previously, I realized swinging the splitting maul was no longer a option. I researched several different brands of electric splitters over a 6 month period and finally decided on the FISCH LS 8000 4 Ton Electric Log splitter.
When I received shipment,which was only 5 days,the external packaging appeared normal,but opening the package was another story. I discovered several pieces of broken plastic, that came from a shattered electrical box, and a missing bolt for the leg assembly. I found a bolt in my shop and a roll of duct tape, finished assembly and plugged the unit in. I immediately challanged the splitter with some small diameter slab wood, next a green 12 in. block of stringy White Elm, and finally a knotty piece of green Ironwood. The little 4 Ton FISCH, said good by to all of them. I can hardly wait to use it again. I emailed the Company Direct, and within a day I received a email message and a phone call to confirm that they would ship the damaged electrical box and missing nut and bolt. My back is feeling great!

Great Compact Splitter
I needed a splitter that would be easy to manage, and the Fisch LS-8000 certainly lives up to its product information. I have had the splitter for about two months and have been very pleased. I wasn't expecting this kind of splitting efficiency for the money. In addition to my being able to easily move the splitter by hand from one location to the next, I am amazed at how this small but very sturdy piece of equipment easily splits hard wood. It is fast and efficient and actually can do a log greater than the recommended diameter of 12 inches, although most of my wood has been around the 12 inch range or slightly less. It does require the use of two hands simultaneously but that actually turns out to be a nice safety feature. So far, I have cut a variety of wood without any difficulty. Delivery of this product took around four weeks.

Great Machine for Splitting Logs
My extended family has always enjoyed a good fire during the winter months, and when given the opportunity to harvest several nice oak trees, I jumped at the chance and began to investigate both gas and electric log splitters. Gas log splitters were out of my price range, so I narrowed my choice to electric and settled on the Fisch. I read all the reviews, helpful hints and owner's manual thoroughly before starting to split my initial 4 cords of wood. To be quite honest, this machine outperformed my expectations completely. Not only did it split logs that were wider than 12" in diameter, it did them when they were freshly cut, with no hesitation nor sticking. I sprayed the wedge with cooking spray before every log and rarely had any problems at all with the logs not splitting completely after the cycle. To make the splitter operate at best effeciency, I would recommend following the owner's manual completely (spraying the wedge before each log, opening the air screw, checking on hydraulic fluid regularly) and of course, clean the splitter from time to time to reduce the amount of goop accumulating on it. In one weekend, I cut and split enough wood for both myself, my two sisters, and my father...over 4 cords of wood. With seasoned wood going for about $150.00 per cord, it paid for itself immediately. I would not hesitate at all to buy this machine, as I was more than pleasantly surprised by its performance.

Wish I had bought this earlier
What a great little device. I was able to split 16-20 diameter wet (cut down a week ago) Red Oak without problem. What was really great was being able to split smaller diameter branches that would be very difficult to do with an ax/maul. I also made several 'spacers' of 1x4 inch stock to keep the ram from returning all of the way back. That way it took less time on shorter logs to reach the log. Just place it on top of the rail and when the ram returns is hits the spacer.

Good machine -- not unlimited power.
I have to agree with Dallas Walters in that the machine does not have unlimited power -- as you would expect from an electric model. It will stall on bigger and tougher pieces. But it also splits logs within it's specified size range easily. Using two guys we split a load of dense dry pine in a very short time. Quiet enough to not disturb the wildlife.

When I received the machine and unpacked it I found that two nuts that hold the handle and wheels unit had come loose and fallen out of the handle holes of the shipping box, or they had not been included to begin with. So, had to go to the hardware store for an acorn nut and a locking nut before we could set it up and try it. Also, don't lose the manual. Nothing is clearly labeled (like the fill/drain hole -- it looks like just another bolt head).

Overall I am pleased with the machine, and hoping it will hold up to a lot of splitting on our heavily treed lot! ... Read more

Kliss Cabinets
We are a professional cabinet shop specializing in high end work that demands high end tools. I shopped the Jet and Delta along with the Fisch drill press. We chose the Fisch because the table has a nicer tilting mechanism (you don't need to get out a wrench out..that you cant find, tap,tap with a hammer and so on). The Fisch has a lever that works nicely to adjust the fully tilting table smoothly. No light though..(if that is important to you, stick one on yourself) The fit an finish is slightly less quality than Jet and Delta(crooked stickers,minor cosmetic stuff). The up/down table gear mechanism is a little rough but I believe it will "break in" meaning round off the gears and smooth out. Incedently the free hold down clamp is free for a reason...nicely made but is doesn't really have any clamping power. All things considered I am glad I chose the Fisch over the others. Overall solid machine that performs well. Jet, Delta,Fisch..they're all made in China. ... Read more

Fair set, only really for detail
When purchasing a new lathe, I mentioned I was interested in smaller projects like chess pieces and pens. The salesman referred me to this set for these kinds of projects -- and said this would be "all I need". When I got home and set everything up, I was a bit disappointed to realize that I did indeed need other tools -- especially a good gouge. I've since spent almost twice the price of these on additional tools. Once you have wood shaped to approximate size, these tools do indeed work well. Consider these tools as a supplement to your existing turning tools.

Pros:
+ Well made
+ high speed steel tools stay sharp even after a fair amount of use
+ Best set I've found for most detailing

Cons:
- more variety of tools would be good
- Included pouch is difficult to quickly remove and replace tools -- requires 2 hands.

great buy for the major hobbiest
I have had the mortise for a while now and have used it for several days now. The machine is bigger than I expected which is nice between the machine and the base is about 250 pounds. I love the ease of adjustment of the fence and depth adjestments. The handle can be adjusted without tools which makes it nice scence you have six inches of travel. Overall I am very glad I purchased it instead of a tabletop model. ... Read more
