I can't speak for their metal working tools, but I have their JWBS-14MW 14 in wood/metal (3-speed) bandsaw and am quite satisfied with the quality of the machine. It compares well with the better Delta machines. The castings are solid and true, and the adjustments are easy to use and stay set pretty well. The included accessories (fence, square) are cheap, though.
