The saw looks like it is brand new. Very nice. Unfortunately I can not get the blade tight enough and so the blade is to lose to cut a straight line. I have had a few proffesionals look at it and they are unable to tighten it also.

Original purchase agreement and documentation specified NEW; product delivered was reconditioned. Worked with delivered product and found it deficient in many ways - e.g. unable to make table level, noisy, unable to cut without cutting into table slot/guide. Called customer service and was promised delivery of NEW unit - it too is reconditioned and also required extensive alignment/adjustments.
Originally made decision on NEW - not reconditioned. Not a particularily bad product for light infrequent work but would not have bought knowing it was reconditioned and required repairs. Have a number of RIDGID reconditioned tools that are just fine - and great value.
Not sure what the next steps are but given my prior experience with Amazon this too will be satisfactorily resolved.

I ordered a Skil 3385 from Amazon in July, 2009. The item is advertised as "New." However, it arrived in a plain brown box, poorly packed, and marked "Factory Refurbished." The saw showed some wear and other signs of prior use. It was somewhat dirty, and the instruction manual was crumpled and had writing in it.
I returned the saw to Amazon and bought one that really was new at Lowe's for $114.
I have not used the saw very much yet, but so far I am pleased. The initial adjustments are well explained in the manual and easy to do. I tried cutting a piece of wood and a piece of FR4 printed circuit board (with a 15 TPI blade on low speed.) The cuts were straight and clean. The frame is an aluminum casting, and it has a plastic access door on front. Overall, it appears well made and a bargain for the price.
Only 3 minor negatives: 1) The 1½" dust port is nice, but it does not fit Shop-Vac 1¼" hoses. I had to cut apart an old dust brush and use some duct tape to make an adapter. 2) The fence is a bit wobbly. I think it would have to be clamped in place for critical work. 3) The work light is too dim to be very useful.
Overall, I would give the saw 4½ stars, but I have to give Amazon a low mark for inaccurately describing their offering as "New."

I bought this bandsaw thinking it is new as advertised here on Amazon but it arrived in a generic box and after assembly I saw the refurbished sticker on it.
Called Amazon customer service, they said they would replace it, I asked that they make sure I am getting one new in the box but next one comes worse than the first one, in a beat up cardboard box from PH, Arizona!Skil 3385-01-RT 120-Volt 9-Inch Band Saw
Please be aware you are paying and buying a refurbished product not "New" as advertised!
It does cut OK but built and looks cheap! The stand is terrible!
Worse than all is dealing with these people picking up phone in India for Amazon customer support!
I have been spending lots of money in Amazon but I will never buy tools from them again.
