Powermatic 14″ Bandsaw

Model Number PWBS-14CS

Overview

• This is a 14″ bandsaw, meaning the maximum size material that can be cut is 14″
• This bandsaw can cut wood and plastic, NOT metal
• Do not force your material through the saw — instead, apply moderate pressure and let the blade do the cutting
• When completing a cut, your material can “jump” as the blade exits. Be prepared for this and do not cut with your fingers pushing in line with the blade
• Do not adjust the guide bearings
• Do not change the blade

Training

No formal training is required, although please inform yourself on proper usage before using the saw. Here are some videos:
