JET JWBS-16B 16" Band SawThe JET JWBS-16B 16" Band Saw was designed to bringour super rigid triangular frame technology and a largecapacity to the mid-size band saw market. With a full 16”throat capacity and a built-in 10” resaw capacity, the JETJWBS-16B 16" Band Saw easily handles your wood shopprojects right out of the box!Frame and CabinetsThe JET JWBS-16B 16" Band Saw is built around oursuper-rigid triangular column technology that reducesrotational deflections by an amazing 65% over the common box type construction.Unlike the traditional two-piece cast iron frames, this onepiece triangular steel columnruns the full height of the JETJWBS-16B 16" Band Saw.That substantially increases itsability to resist the forces ofblade tension.The JET JWBS-16B I packed withindustry-leading features andquality.The upper and lower cabinetsare made from heavy gaugesteel that is precisely formedand then fully welded to thetriangular column. This heavy-duty cabinet construction provides an exceptionally stableplatform for the blade wheel mounts, tensioning and drive systems.Our unique triangular steel column (left) eliminates 65% of rotationaldeflections as compared to the common box construction. Even ourcabinet doors (right) have been given a gentle curve that makes themmore rigid and more attractive.The all-steel cabinet doors have a curved face that increases their rigidity as well as theirappearance. The doors also have a foam stripat the front edge that along with the rotatingcam lock knob keeps the doors firmly closedand rattle-free during operation.The lower cabinet has a dust brush mountedagainst the wheel to help prevent buildup onthat tire. We located the brush directly infront of the large dust port so that the materialswept from the wheel is evacuated from thecabinet. On the outside of the cabinet is a 4”-diameter port that makes connecting a standard dust collector hose easy and adapter free.A dust brush on the lower wheel (left) helps preventbuild up. Directly behind the brush is a 4”-diameterdust port (right) that makes attaching standard dustcollector hoses adapter free.
