This new and improved 10" band saw is a replacement of our previous 10-306 model. Numerous features make this band saw extremely easy to operate and adjust the blade, guides, and fence. The increased cutting capacity, two blade speeds, and increased 1/2 HP motor are ample enough for smaller projects and will be appreciated by woodworkers who have limited shop space. This redesigned model includes a new 2-1/2" dust port that has been moved up from the base and is also now tilted upward 10°, so dust fittings will attach to it easier. The door hinges have been redesigned to make them sturdier to avoid breakage. The fence carrier now has four additional plastic inserts in case fence tilt adjustments are needed. The rip fence is supplied with a plastic pad on its end to allow the fence to slide easier. The lower band saw frame construction has been improved for positioning of the lower connecting plate and guide assembly. Screws in the lower connecting plate have been changed for easier access with hex wrenches if plate adjustment is needed. The upper band saw frame and guide assembly has been tweaked to ensure a consistent 5" maximum cutting height can be achieved.
