Jet JWBS-18 18” Bandsaw, 1-3/4HP, 115/230V

Jet’s 18” bandsaws feature abundant resaw capacity, throat depth and power for tackling thick stock and tough hardwoods. Cut curves, straight lines and joinery with smooth edges, thanks to the heavy-duty cast-iron table and fence system, which helps to minimize vibration. A micro-adjust dial on the fence allows quick, accurate adjustments. The table has a miter slot for the included miter guage, and the guide post features a magnetic door on the front for easy blade changes. The large ball bearing guides are independently adjustable without tools to save you time on set up. Whatever your needs, Jet’s line of steel frame bandsaws is engineered to meet them.
