Powermatic PM1800B 18-Inch Band Saw, 5 HP, 230V 1Ph
The Powermatic PM1800B is an 18-inch industrial band saw with cast iron wheels and trunnion and a 5 HP 230V 1Ph motor. It resaws stock up to 18 inches tall and has an 18-inch throat.
It has two blade speeds (2,300 / 4,400 SFPM), a foot brake, an extruded aluminum fence and a resaw pin.
Tension and Safety
A quick-tension lever has full and partial tension positions, and a handwheel with a scale sets tension for the blade width. An interlock keeps the saw from starting when the blade is detensioned, the motor shuts off if a blade breaks, and a magnetic safety key sits on the switch.
Table and Fence
The 24 x 27 inch cast iron table tilts 45 degrees right and 10 left. The extruded aluminum fence and resaw pin handle resaw setups.
