The band saw comes in a box with forwarding. The structure is a little time consuming, but to cope with even for laymen. The mechanical quality is good, all metal parts are meticulously crafted and trimmed. The construction makes quite a solid and high quality impression, considering the price. Unfortunately, all the positive impressions are destroyed, because at least in my machine the tape has such imbalance that the band saw is not to be used at least for my purposes (guitar) so. I would give the machine actually back again, if I had not not dispose of the packaging of unfounded optimism immediately and would not have passed so much time between delivery and installation. Now I can only find possibly a motor workshop which balanced the band wheels for me or to scrap the part new. That's it then Makita!
