Axminster AWHBS450N Bandsaw

A larger floor standing bandsaw, made from steel and cast iron and well suited to those keen home or trade workshops where large capacities of cut may be required. Safety features include a brake which stops the motor within ten seconds, emergency stop switch and micro switches on both doors. The 3hp motor has a soft start arrangement to enable use from a 13A plug in most cases. (If your supply is weak you may have to upgrade to a 16A supply). The extra large cast iron table tilts smoothly on its cast iron mounting and the solid twin clamping arrangement reduces any risk of movement. The quick action rip fence, which is fitted with a magnifying sight for accurate positioning, is supported along the front edge of the table and on an additional support bar at the rear. There is 2 speed belt drive to give a choice for heavy rip cuts in hard timbers or for fast general cross cutting.The ball bearing blade guides support the blade well, reducing vibration and ensuring straight cuts with a good finish. Supplied with mitre fence, rip fence and service tools.
