  1. No one hurt

    Made Jul 15, 2025, sent to the company Jul 18, 2025, published by CPSC Aug 1, 2025

    The product, in the report: Klutch Electric Portable Benchtop Bandsaw, 120V Item# 5797354

    The bandsaw has an issue where the blades keep falling off of the rollers. Initially they will eat into the safety blade guard which will then need to be removed and used without since it is damaged. Afterwards the blades will come off the rollers and high speeds and fly off backwards. This saw was used for cutting 1/8” angle iron and was used for 20 minutes at a time for a total of 6 times initially. Now the product is unable to be used as it throws blades after three seconds after turning on the saw. Blades have been thrown about 2 feet at high speed even embedding themselves into drywall 1 foot away from bandsaw.
