Powermatic Bandsaws

The PWBS-14CS Bandsaw has an extra large, two-piece cast iron table. It consists of a 15 x 15 inch tilting section and a fixed 15 x 5 inch extension for a total working surface area of 15 x 20 inch. A balanced, nine-spoke cast iron wheel makes for smooth blade travel, and a Carter quick tension release lever makes blade changing easy. A micro-adjustable dual bearing blade guide system is featured above and below the table, as well as a work lamp and chip blower. A Poly V belt maximizes power transmission while minimizing noise and vibration. It has full 6 inch under guide capacity with 13-1/2 inch frame to blade clearance. The aluminum rip fence comes with a resaw attachment.

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.
