• Overview
  At Powermatic, we believe that ambition is the fuel that drives progress. Every product we engineer is born out of the same idea: How can we empower woodworkers to do more? In shops across the world, craftspeople are continually pushing the limits of their creativity, and in turn, challenging us to provide the best tools for the job. When we reimagined our line of bandsaws, we not only set out to meet their ambitions, but to exceed them. Larger projects and larger workpieces call for more power, more resaw capacity and more cast iron. This bandsaw, now featuring our ArmorGlide Technology that is low-friction and rust-resistant, includes the legendary quality, precision, and attention to detail that has been helping woodworkers expand their ambition for more than 100 years.

  Features

  • ArmorGlide Technology gives you a low-friction, industrial-grade coating on the work surface that is rust resistant, requires less maintenance, and gives you more control.
  • Miter gauge is built with robust materials with many positive stops for the most commonly used angles.
  • Computer balanced cast iron wheels reduce vibration
  • Computer balanced cast iron wheels reduce vibration and noise
  • Exclusive Powermatic T-square style Accu-Fence® maximizes accuracy and safety
  • Micro-adjustable, virtually tool-less bearing guide system gives close blade control while reducing friction
  • Oversized side plate can be used in the horizontal or vertical position
  • Solid cast iron upper and lower wheels create the momentum needed for heavy resaw
  • Special grooved thrust bearing stabilizes smaller blades
  • Sturdy cast iron table and trunnion assembly offers maximum rigidity for large work pieces
