Deep cut
Your Sherwood 18in HD offers a full 406mm depth of cut. Matched with the powerful 1500W motor, you can now complete deep rips and block work effortlessly.
Cast iron wheels
Cast wheels are heavier. And if the wheels are heavier, you will have more inertia. This is great when handling peak loads on the blade. In other words, the heavier wheels will help get you through the toughest of cuts.
Sturdy rip fence
Want to rip? No worries, the Sherwood 18in HD features a sturdy rip fence as standard. This fence features two T track slots and a quick-lock handle. The fence is also easily removed and stored to make full use of the whole worktable.
Cast worktable with mitre slot
Your cast iron worktable reduces vibration and allows you to use magnetic accessories. The mitre slot is a full size at 19 x 9.5mm. Perfect for using the included mitre slide, a cross-cut sled or installing feather boards and other accessories.
Blade quick release
The blade quick release mechanism has two key functions. First, it really helps to for speed up the process of changing out your blades. Second, it lets you quickly flip off the tension when heading home for the day. This eliminates the chance of your wide rip blades developing a memory.
Twin dust ports
The Sherwood 18in HD features two 102mm dust ports. One is located at the base of the machine, the other just below the worktable and lower blade guides. This keeps both the guts of your bandsaw and the floor of your workshop dust free.
Safety foot brake
The Sherwood 18in HD features a super convenient safety foot brake. Simply compress and the foot brake not only brings the machine to a dead stop - it also kills the motor instantly. Great if you get into trouble or if you need to answer the phone.
