POWERMATIC PWBS-14 Bandsaw The versatility of the bandsaw has made it a favorite of woodworkers for decades. The POWERMATIC PWBS-14 Bandsaw was designed to be rugged, accurate and to bring a surprising array of user-frie ndly features th at make it the most capable machine in its class rig ht out of the box.
To help capture dust from above the table we developed a special insert plate with a grid of th rough holes. This creates a vacuum source surrounding the blade at th e table surface to catch m uch of the dust other bandsaws leave on the surface. A perforated insert surrounds the blade with dust collection ports.
An easy-to-use pushbutton on/off switch is moun ted on the frame within easy reach from the normal operating position. To ease assembly, the electrical co nnections between the bandsaw itself and the closed stand i nvolve a single three-pole plug. Blade Tensioning For bandsaw blades to perform correctly they must be properly tensioned.
Roller blade guides eliminate subs tantial amounts of friction and th e buildup of heat in the blade generated by the friction of rub blocks. That allows roller bearing guide s to be set closer to the blade for more control and do not require frequent re-adjusting to com pensate for fric tion-related wear.
Miter Gauge A full-featured miter gauge is included, sized specif ically for use with the POWERMATIC PWBS-14 Bandsaw. The miter gauge fen ce can be locked at any setting up to 60–degrees to the left or ri ght. The flat, machined aluminum fence face features screw slots for attaching your shop-made faces or jigs for specialty jobs.
Extended Resaw Capacity With the add ition of our riser block kit , the PWBS-14 resaw capacity increases to 12” from the upper guide to the table surface! When large capacity resawi ng is required, the #1791217, 6 ” riser kit increases the maximum clearance between the uppe r guides and the table surface to 12 ” .
