When you’re sawing a hefty plank, it’s no time to get bogged down by a wimpy bandsaw. Time to crank up the Powermatic 14-inch Bandsaw PWBS-14CS and start ripping. The Powermatic lives up to its name with a 1.5-hp, 230V motor and a poly-V belt that maximizes power transmission while minimizing noise and vibration. This “Best Of” comes with superior features like a two-piece cast iron table consisting of a 15 x 15 tilting section and a 15 x 5 fixed extension for an oversized work area. A micro-adjustable dual bearing guide system above and below the table delivers precision cuts, as does the easy-to-read tensioning gauge settings indicated in blade width increments. Balanced, nine-spoke cast iron wheels keep everything humming smoothly and the CARTER quick tension release lever speeds up blade changes. The little extras add up to a big plus, like the 60-watt halogen gooseneck lamp built into the body and the chip blower to ensure a clean, visible cut line.
