The AC1950B is a premium, compact bandsaw with many new features not normally found on machines of this size. This bandsaw has a welded steel chassis with great strength designed into it. It has a generously sized cast iron table with a steel plate rear extension.
The table mounting trunnions are unusually widely spaced, giving extra table support, but also ensuring that the table tilt is smooth in operation. A 19mm mitre fence slot is provided. The rip fence cam locks solidly to the front rail and is adjustable to the blade for accuracy. Twin scales allow the fence to be used either side of the blade.
The bandsaw uniquely has ceramic side and thrust blade guides; these give great blade support and are almost impossible to wear out. Once set, they stay set unless you change the width of the blade. A rack and pinion system adjusts the upper blade guide height.
The dust extraction is via two ports, one close to the bottom guides, the other in the lower wheel cabinet. An interconnecting hose means just one 63mm connection port needs coupling to a suitable vacuum extractor. There are twin blade speeds, giving flexibility for many jobs. A powerful induction motor with a multi V belt drives the bandsaw and is quiet and reliable.
Supplied with a steel leg stand with rubber feet and a UK made general purpose blade. There are a whole range of different blades available to suit any task. This could be the perfect bandsaw for the typical "shed-in-the-garden" hobbies and craft workshop.
