If you need to process larger materials, then a higher cutting capacity and motor power are required and that’s why the BS450A-EVS the 18″ Deluxe 2.5HP bandsaw with Electronic Variable Speed of the Woodfast “Aussie Muscle” series has been developed. Compared to its 14″ brother the BS350D, this saw is more heavy duty with square column welding and enhanced body structure. Safety features including a kick-off Emergency Stop and Foot Brake system, as well as micro switched doors, make this saw ideal for home, school and workshop users.
This powerful bandsaw is outstanding value and a more than capable addition to any workshop.
