The bandsaw is the most versatile sawing machine in your workshop. Bandsaws are suitable for a broad range of applications including curve cutting, detail sawing, straight and deep ripping.

Bandsaws are useful for woodworkers of all skill levels. Once you have learned how to tune your bandsaw you can saw almost anything effortlessly. No workshop, whether beginner, enthusiast or professional should be without a bandsaw.

The Sherwood 18in 2300W Deep Rip Bandsaw

The Sherwood 18in 2300W Deep Rip Bandsaw delivers the two things you need for deep ripping and resawing in hardwoods: power and capacity. It’s in the name: with its 3HP motor and 406mm depth of cut, the Sherwood 18in 2300W Deep Rip Bandsaw is all about deep, smooth ripping. 

Great Range of Features

The Sherwood 18in 2300W Deep Rip Bandsaw is packed with great features. Apart from the easy adjustable worktable and sturdy hi/lo fence, the Sherwood 18in 2300W Deep Rip Bandsaw features a cast iron worktable with standard 3/4in x 3/8in mitre slot and mitre gauge, cast iron fly wheels, braked motor, safety micro switch, and twin dust ports. The blade guide and guard runs smoothly on a rack and pinion drive, and quick-release blade tension makes changing straightforward. Everything you need for accurate and dustless sawing.

Powerful Braked Motor

2300 Watts equals 3 Horsepower in the old money. That’s enough power to resaw hardwoods right up to the saw’s maximum vertical capacity, and then some! For those extra-hard timbers there’s also the option to slow down and torque-up by changing gears. And the braked motor ensures that once you hit the off switch, your bandsaw blade comes to a full stop in under ten seconds. An essential safety feature.

Twin Dust Ports

The Sherwood 18in 2300W Deep Rip Bandsaw features two 102mm (4in) dust ports. A blade block located in the lower cabinet directs airflow toward the upper dust port. This keeps the interior of your bandsaw as well as the air in your workshop dust free. 

American-Style Blade Guides

The Sherwood 18in 2300W Deep Rip Bandsaw features upper and lower solid American-style bearing blade guides. These smooth-running guides are easy to adjust and very durable. Just tune your bandsaw and go. The top blade guide assembly runs on a rack and pinion assembly, making it simple and safe to adjust the height. 

Balanced Performance

For any machine to perform, the size of the motor must match the size of the machine. The amount of power generated by the Sherwood 2300W motor is perfectly balanced to the build of the Deep Rip Bandsaw. This results in balanced and effective performance, free of vibration. For you, this means pleasurable and accurate sawing.

Sturdy, Versatile Rip Fence

The Sherwood 18in 2300W Deep Rip Bandsaw features a sturdy aluminium combination hi/lo rip fence with fine adjust as standard, allowing you to achieve unmatched accuracy when straight-cutting. The fence is easily removed and stored to make full use of the whole worktable when curved cuts or scrolling work is required. 

Worktable with Mitre Slot & Guide

The adjustable worktable allows you to complete all sorts of angled sawing tasks. The standard 3/4in x 3/8in mitre slot can be used with the included mitre slide or other mitre compatible feather boards and accessories.

Safety and Micro Switches

The Sherwood 18in 2300W Deep Rip Bandsaw has an easily accessed one-click safety switch…just in case you need it! Top and bottom cabinet doors feature a micro switch to ensure your bandsaw can only be run with both cabinet doors securely shut. 

Quick Release Blade Tension

The quick release blade tension mechanism speeds up blade changes. It also means that you can easily return to the same tension when replacing the old blade with one of the same size. Simple, quick blade changes mean less downtime and better productivity. 

5-Year Warranty

All Sherwood products feature a standard 5-Year limited warranty. No other bandsaw in its class is more supported than the Sherwood 14in 1800W Deep Rip Bandsaw.
