In Operation

A compact floorstanding woodworking bandsaw  Charnwood B250 Premium Bandsaw has a massive cutting capacity. This is fairly unique for a machine of this size and price. The big capacity makes it an ideal choice for woodworkers who are short on space. The power is delivered by a quiet induction motor with a belt drive to the bandsaw wheel. The key to straight and accurate cutting on a bandsaw is to have a good set of blade guides. The B250 has three sealed bearings on the blade guard. Two mounted side-on to the blade to 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.

It Also has a cast iron table that tilts from 90 degrees to 45 degrees and has a positive stop at both of those positions. Therefore any angle in between can be read off the scale and locked in. For rip cuts the guide fence can be situated on either side of the blade. It can also be locked into position with a single press of the lever and has a clear marker to set against the metric scale. The fence itself can also be fitted in two ways. When cutting thicker material the full face height of 60mm is used. When cutting thin and narrow strips the fence is fitted with the small face, against the blade therefore allowing clearance around the guides.

The two doors are fitted with safety locks which cut power to the motor when the doors are open for blade changing or cleaning.

Further Considerations

A dust extractor is always recommended when using a bandsaw. The dust collection outlet has 3 rings which allow it to accept 3 sizes of hose, 50mm, 75mm & 100mm diameter making it compatible with any type of extraction system. If extraction is not being used however, the bandsaw is fitted with an integral dust collection draw. Dust falling into the base of the machine will be collected here, allowing it to be quickly and easily emptied.

Supplied with 3/8″ x 6tpi blade, rip fence, mitre fence, work light, floorstand, cable and plug.

This Bandsaw is fitted with a High Quality, British manufactured blade with precision ground teeth for incredible cutting results.
