The 2 HP motor on this 17" Heavy-duty Bandsaw powers through wood up to a maximum 12-1/8" resaw capacity, and the 16-1/4" throat is plenty for most applications. Features like the deluxe fence, heavy-duty miter gauge, dual 4" dust ports, micro-adjusting geared table, and European-style blade guides are usually found on machines costing much more.
