The Powermatic® PM1500 bandsaw packs many features traditionally only found on larger bandsaws, bringing them to a new, category-redefining 15" size. With an impressive 14-1/2" throat capacity and 14" resaw capacity, the PM1500 offers more cutting capacity than traditional 14" bandsaws, making it ideal for handling larger workpieces. The sturdy cast iron table and trunnion assembly provide maximum rigidity, ensuring stability when working with heavy materials. The exclusive Powermatic T-Square style Accu-Fence enhances accuracy and safety, with complete adjustability for aligning to the blade and squaring to the table. The positive locking cam with pressure adjustment ensures a secure and precise fence setup.

The PM1500 offers woodworkers both versatility and convenience. The oversized side plate allows use in the horizontal and vertical positions, expanding the range of cutting options. The solid steel resaw pin offers optimum rigidity for resawing thick stock. The blade tension release with an electrical interlock prevents the bandsaw from starting when the blade is de-tensioned or released, enhancing operator safety. The heavy-duty upper wheel support and tracking mechanism ensure smooth operation and precise blade tracking. Equipped with high-end blade guides featuring tool-less adjustment, the PM1500 provides stability and increases cut accuracy. The four-sided blade guard offers optimum protection during operation. The integrated foot brake quickly stops the blade from coasting for added safety. The magnetic switch protects the motor from potential harm due to electrical supply issues, providing additional peace of mind. With its generous cutting capacity, robust construction, and advanced features, the PM1500 is the gold standard in 15" bandsaws.
