A floor standing woodworking bandsaw with a cutting capacity of 150mm (6″). The power is delivered by a quiet induction motor with a belt drive to the bandsaw wheel. A two speed pulley allows the correct blade speed to be selected, depending on the hardness of the material being cut. The B300 has 3 bearings on the blade guard. The two sealed bearings mounted side-on to the blade, control blade twist and keep it true. The rear bearing takes the thrust of the back of the blade allowing it to run freely. The same setup is then repeated beneath the table.A useful addition is the circle cutting attachment. A sharp pointer can be lowered into the centre point of the circle and the diameter set on the support arm. Using this guide you can cut circles of any diameter up to 600mm.Cast iron table tilts from 90 degrees to 45 degrees, on a rack & pinion, and has a positive stop at both of those positions. Any angle in between can be read off the scale and locked in.A blade tension lever sets the tension, after a blade change fine tuning can be carried out with the tension indicator & scale.
