Powermatic 24" Band Saw with ArmorGlide 5hp, 1PH, 230V - 1791259BT

Powermatic 24" Band Saw with ArmorGlide 5hp, 1PH, 230V 

When Powermatic reimagined their line of band saws, they not only set out to meet the ambitions of woodworkers across the world, but to exceed them. Larger projects and larger workpieces call for more power, more resaw capacity, and more cast iron.

The PM2415BT Band Saw features ArmorGlide Technology, a low-friction, industrial-grade coating on the work surface that is rust resistant, requires less maintenance, and gives you more control. This machine includes the legendary quality, precision, and attention to detail that has been helping woodworkers expand their ambition for more than 100 years.

ArmorGlide Technology pros:

• Enhanced visibility: The dark surface reduces glare, so you can see where you're cutting better.
• Rust resistant: Ditch the steel wool and never worry about rust again.
• Low friction: Coated tables require 50% less force, so you get more control.
• Maintenance-free: Get rid of the waxes and messy cleaning supplies, so you can do more of what you love.
• Durable coating: ArmorGlide tables can withstand 250,000 passes without showing signs of wear.
