Powermatic 18-inch Bandsaw 191220

Описание: Hi everyone and welcome to my channel!

I decided to invest in a heavier duty bandsaw for my maker shop. I was looking for a bandsaw that would give me a minimum of 15” in a height and width of cut. It had to be able to use a 1” bandsaw blade, had to be comfortable to use, have good duct collection ports, excellent commercial bearings for a smooth operation and be operated by a 5HP motor. After searching, reviewing and talking with others and their bandsaw experiences, I decided to go with the Powermatic PM 1800B bandsaw. It has an 18” depth and width of cut, uses a 5HP motor that is single phase and operates on 230-volt electricity.

In this video I will be cleaning it up, putting it together following the owner’s manual and adding my comments about it along the way. I hope this helps you in your quest to find the right bandsaw, or even bandsaw brand, by watching this video.
