With the convenience of electronic variable speed, you’ll have the ability to use this massive bandsaw for cutting everything for woodworking plus plastic and either ferrous or non-ferrous metals. Its 2.5HP motor and 6”-tall fence with resaw bar should make easy work of creating book-matched panels and flitches of veneer. The saw sports a large cast iron table and balanced cast iron flywheels for all-day performance. The double ball-bearing upper and lower blade guides are simple to adjust, and a wide range of blade widths will swap in and out without fuss, thanks to its quick-release blade tension system. When it’s time to power down the saw, an electronic brake stops the action in less than 5 seconds.
