Live band saw listings, benchmarked
Every price below is compared against what similar band saws are actually asking right now, so a low number means low against the market — not against a seller's claim.
What to check on a used band saw
- Check the tires. Cracked or glazed tires are cheap to replace but tell you how the saw was stored.
- Look at guide blocks and bearings, and confirm the upper guide post raises smoothly.
- Tension the wheel and spin it — a wobbling wheel is a serious problem.
- Ask about resaw capacity and whether a riser block is installed; it changes the machine's value materially.
Common questions
What is a used band saw worth?
Fourteen-inch cast-iron saws are the used-market staple and hold value well, especially Delta, Jet and Rikon. Benchtop saws depreciate hard. Each DealBench listing carries a benchmark drawn from comparable live listings.
Are old band saws worth restoring?
Frequently, yes — the castings outlive everything else, and tires, guides and bearings are all consumable parts. Factor those costs into the price you're willing to pay.
