RIKON's 18" bandsaws offer a step up from their 14" counterparts. Their larger ripping widths and increased power mean they can handle the larger-sized lumber, panels and timbers required for carpentry, cabinetmaking and other trades. To match these demands, these saws are constructed of heavier box-style welded steel columns and reinforced frames, and feature machined cast iron tables with T-slots and 6" extruded aluminum rip fences with re-saw bars. Blade adjustment is made easy with rear quick-release tension levers and large blade tension hand wheels. All of RIKON's 18" models feature higher-HP 220V motors that require either a 3- or 4-wire electrical plug that match your receptacle. The RIKON 10-347 is equipped with a powerful 4HP TEFC, 16amp motor with a blade speed of 4,920 ft/min., making it ideally suited for heavy re-saw work. Features include a -5-deg. to 45-deg. tilt; tool-less blade guide system; quick-adjust fence system; geared, cast table trunnion; keyed safety on/off switch; and micro safety on/off switch activated door and foot brake. Requires 3-wire electrical plug to match your receptacle. Comes with a 5-year limited warranty.
