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-friendly features that

make it the most capable machine in its class right out of the box. Because

several of our standard features are aftermarket, additional cost add-ons on

other bandsaws in this class, the POWERMATIC PWBS-14 Bandsaw is one

of the best bang-for-your-buck values on the market.

Solid Backbone

The POWERMATIC PWBS-14 Bandsaw is built around a pair of huge iron

castings that provide an extraordinarily rigid backbone. The lower box-

shaped iron casting surrounds the drive wheel and provides a super rigid base

on which the rest of the saw is built. The upper casting is equally oversized and designed with

flex-fighting rounded corners and an upswept arm that effectively resists the pressures of

tensioning ¾”-wide blades properly.

A huge iron casting provides a solid

foundation that keeps the PWBS-14

rigid and vibration free.

The heavy-gauge steel base cabinet adds to the

POWERMATIC PWBS-14 Bandsaw stability and provides a

solid, vibration-absorbing base for the motor. Because dust

collection does not pass through the base cabinet, its interior

remains virtually dust free, reducing routine maintenance

while enhancing the already long life of the motor and drive

belt. Brackets on the base

cabinet exterior provide on-

board storage for the miter

gauge, fence and extra

blades.

Dust Collection

Rather than routing dust down through the base cabinet we

form a port for a 4”-diameter dust hose in the lower cast iron

section of the POWERMATIC PWBS-14 Bandsaw. Placing

the port where the dust is created greatly improves its

effectiveness and eliminates the leaks found in through-the-cabinet systems. That makes even

marginal dust collectors perform surprisingly well.

A 4”-diameter port is cast into the

lower housing directly below the

blade for super-effective dust

evacuation.
