Powermatic PM1500 15-Inch Band Saw, 3 HP, 230V 1Ph
The Powermatic PM1500 is a 15-inch band saw with a 3 HP, 230V single-phase motor and 15-inch cast iron wheels. It resaws boards up to 14 inches tall and has a 14-1/2 inch throat.
A foot brake stops the blade in about three to four seconds, and a three-position quick-tension lever has a full-release setting for blade changes.
Guides and Tension
Ball-bearing blade guides above and below the table, plus thrust bearings, keep the blade steady. A tension handwheel with a scale sets tension for the blade width.
Safety Built In
A magnetic safety key controls start and stop, and an interlock keeps the saw from running unless the blade is at full tension.
