Powermatic PM1800BT 18" Bandsaw 5hp 1PH 230v Armorglide

Powermatic believes that ambition is the fuel that drives progress. Every product they engineer is born out of the same idea: To empower woodworkers to do more. In shops across the world, craftsmen are continually pushing the limits of their creativity, and in turn, challenging us to provide the best tools for the job. Powermatic reimagined their line of bandsaws, not only setting 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 which 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
• Large 12" x 84" precision-ground cast iron table surface for heavy-duty work
• Parallelogram design ensures close table-to-cutterhead proximity and fast depth of cut adjustments
• Rack and pinion adjustable cast iron fence assembly allows for smooth fence positioning without play
• Straight knife cutterhead with three high-speed steel knives create a clean cut
• Table "lips" on both sides of cutterhead aid in noise reduction

NOTE: The recommended max cutting depth for non-rabbeting cuts is 1/8”. The max cutting depth for rabbeting cuts is 1/2" as the manual has always stated.
