Black and Decker Bandsaw 9411 Type I

Hasn't been in years. As far back as 2000 I was having problems with Delta. I buy their stuff used, but stopped buying new. My Bandsaw was the last and worst Delta product.. I bought the American made Piece of s*it, and basically had to put a lot of work to get it right. I could write a book.

Back in 1992 / 1993 I worked for a tool store, and those who could afford it bought Delta. Those who couldn't bought Jet. Today I would buy a Jet before a Delta if I had to buy new. Heck, I'ld probably buy Grizzly before I bought either. I've got a 230V Delta RAS my wife bought me for my birthday 8 or 9 years ago. The only reason I haven't gotten rid of the big piece of s*it is because it was a gift from my wife. It does make a mediocre table to pile things on though.

I think of Jet as over priced these days. Granted they have solid tools, same style as the old delta in many respects. But I think they are just a little too far out on price.

I remember years ago both the Unisaw and Jet cab saw were about

I hope she's doesn't read RW. ;-)

I bought a Delta drill press (18-900L). I couldn't be more pleased with it. My cabinet saw is also very good, much better than anything else for its price. I wouldn't buy their new saw, though.

Each manufacturer is strong in a tool, or two, but either overpriced for others or just not up to snuff. Because a company makes a great tool, doesn't mean they all are.

Where did you find a manual and do you know where I can find one today?

Chances are that the question will not be answered, cause the person that wrote the post two years ago is prolly not here now.

You are in luck, I am retired and am still checking the newsgroups. I found the manual for the saw by googling on the model brand and numbers.

I found mine was model number 9411.04.

If that does not work contact me directly.

Keith can you post a link for me?

I was researching and found that the B&D 9411 should be able to handle a 3/16 wide blade start slow and adjust your tension. also look and make sure your riding bearings are not pushing the blade. they should just be a hair off the blade only there to keep you from pushing the blade to far back as you cut. If they are to far forward they can cause the blade to swing off.

if all else replace your tires.

I've been searching for a manual. Can you tell me where you downloaded yours?

What size blade does the 9411 type 1 take?

I know this is an old thread, however since it came up on my Google search maybe this can help someone else along the way... I found the B&D Model 9411 12" Bandsaw manual posted here:
