We also include a 3”-tall resaw post that attaches to the fence with a simple finger knob. The resaw post can be positioned as needed to the blade width being used for maximum accuracy and ease of use. A dual range scale on the guide rail shows blade-to-fence cut widths and blade-to- resaw post widths!
The large 19 ¾”-long by 2 ½”-tall
extruded aluminum fence rail provides plenty of surface for guiding even large-sized projects accurately. With flat faces on both sides, this fence can be used on either side of the blade plus allows clamping shop-made jigs in place simple.
The full-featured T-square style fence (left) locks on both ends for maximum stability. The resaw post (right) is included and attaches to the fence with a finger knob.
Versatile Fence
Though often considered an extra- cost accessory, the POWERMATIC PWBS-14 Bandsaw comes with a full-featured t-square fence. For maximum stability during the largest of cutting tasks, the POWERMATIC PWBS-14 Bandsaw fence locks onto its guide rails at both sides of the table with the flip of the single locking lever.
The POWERMATIC PWBS-14 Bandsaw table surface is 44” above the floor, which eliminates stooping to make time-intensive cutting jobs less tiring. With a full 6” resaw capacity below the upper guide and a generous 13 ½” blade-to-frame distance, you will find this to be an extremely capable bandsaw.
The primary table tilts 45-degrees to the right and 10-degrees to the left. A pair of large diameter knobs secures the tilt
function and feature a rubber overmold surface for comfort and enhanced grip. A scale on the operator-side trunnion makes setting precise table angles easy.
The combination of tilting and stationary cast iron table sections gives the PWBS-14 one of the largest work surfaces in the industry!
The POWERMATIC PWBS-14 Bandsaw features a large two- piece cast iron table with a finely ground surface and a standard ¾”-wide by 3/8”-deep t-shaped miter slot. A 5 3/8”- deep stationary table extension adds to the primary 15” by 15” table for an overall useable surface of 20 7/8” by 15” to provide plenty of support for large projects.
Roller blade guides eliminate substantial amounts of friction and the buildup of heat in the blade generated by the friction of rub blocks. That allows roller bearing guides to be set closer to the blade for more control and do not require frequent re-adjusting to compensate for friction-related wear.
