JET JWBS-20 for Resawing and Precision Bandsaw Work
Motor Maintains Steady Cutting Power
The JWBS-20 uses a 3 HP or 5 HP motor designed for consistent cutting through hardwoods and thicker stock. Blade speed remains smooth without slowing under load, reducing burning and improving edge quality during resawing or curved cuts.
Rigid Four-Sided Guide Post Improves Blade Support
The guide post system supports the blade from four sides for stable tracking during demanding cuts. Rack and pinion adjustment makes height changes controlled and predictable, keeping the blade properly supported as material thickness changes.
Cast Iron Table and Fence Support Straight Cuts
The heavy-duty cast iron table and fence provide firm support for boards and resaw work. Micro-adjust dials allow precise positioning so cuts stay accurate, keeping workpieces stable as they move through the blade.
Quick Release Tensioning Simplifies Blade Changes
The tensioning system includes full tension, partial tension, and full release settings. This allows the blade to be relaxed between uses and tightened quickly for cutting. Blade tracking window and easy access doors make adjustments faster and more predictable.
