With this much capacity in such a compact machine, this makes it ideal for any small shop. EUROPEAN GUIDESThe Formula S 440P comes with upper and lower Europeans-style guides on the machine. These guides provide for quick and easy adjustments without the need for tools. They can be adjusted up or down to accommodate the tilting of the table. When you are not tilting the table, you can raise the guides all the way up to the lower table surface to decrease the distance between your guides, maintaining maximum stability through your cut. HEAVY DUTY RIGIDITYThe Formula S 440P has a rigid, rectified steel guidepost with rack and pinion positioning for rapid and precise raising or lowering of the guides. THICK CAST-IRON WHEELSThe Formula S 440P has thick cast iron wheels which are perfectly balanced to reduce vibration and produce a fly wheel effect to aid in the processing of your pieces. VULCANIZED TIRESThe Formula S 440P has vulcanized tires that not only bonds the rubber tires to the wheel, but they become like one with them. This means a greater transfer of power, as well as making it nearly impossible to shred them if a blade breaks resulting in less wear and maintenance over their lifetime. STEEL FRAMEOur heavy-duty steel frames are the most rigid in their class and are designed to withstand the tension required for a carbide tipped blade. DUST EXTRACTIONTwo dust ports are included on this band saw, not just one like most others. This helps ensure that you will capture more debris, as well as capture it more efficiently.
