Powermatic 18″ Band Saw 5hp, 1PH, 230V

Powermatic believes that ambition is the fuel that drives progress. Every product that is engineered is born out of the same idea: How can they empower woodworkers to do more? In shops across the world, craftsmen are continually pushing the limits of their creativity, and in turn, challenging Powermatic to provide the best tools for the job.

When they reimagined their line of bandsaws, they 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 also features the legendary quality, precision and attention to detail that has been helping woodworkers expand their ambition for more than ninety years.

Also available with a 3 phase motor.
