1100W Wood Cutting Bandsaw, 355mm, 200mm Depth, 2490mm Blade

This is a serious machine rather than a bench tool. A 101kg floor standing bandsaw with 200mm of depth under the guide is what a joinery shop, a sawmill yard or a furniture workshop uses to resaw boards, cut thick stock, rip beams down and shape heavy sections. Two hundred millimetres of depth is the figure that matters, because it is what lets you split a thick plank through its width and get two usable boards out of one.

The 1 100 Watt motor and the mass of the frame are what keep the blade steady in a deep cut. A light saw flexes and the cut wanders, which is the whole reason a machine like this weighs what it does. It takes a 2 490mm blade at 1 400 revolutions a minute and handles resawing, ripping, curves, cross cutting, circles and scroll work. The table locks anywhere from 0 to 45 degrees with a tilt scale showing the angle, so bevels are set rather than guessed. An easy adjustable locking system sets the blade, and micro safety switches on the upper and lower doors stop the motor if a door is opened.
