Jet JWBS-16B Features

JET JWBS-16B 16" Band Saw
The JET JWBS-16B 16" Band Saw was designed to bring
our super rigid triangular frame technology and a large
capacity to the mid-size band saw market. With a full 16"
throat capacity and a built-in 10" resaw capacity, the JET
JWBS-16B 16" Band Saw easily handles your wood shop
projects right out of the box!
Frame and Cabinets
The JET JWBS-16B 16" Band Saw is built around our
super-rigid triangular column technology that reduces
rotational deflections by an amazing 65% over the common box type construction.
Our unique triangular steel column (left) eliminates 65% of rotational
deflections as compared to the common box construction. Even our
cabinet doors (right) have been given a gentle curve that makes them
more rigid and more attractive.
triangular column. This heavy-duty cabinet construction provides an exceptionally stable
platform for the blade wheel mounts, tensioning and drive systems.
The all-steel cabinet doors have a curved face that increases their rigidity as well as their
appearance. The doors also have a foam strip
at the front edge that along with the rotating
cam lock knob keeps the doors firmly closed
and rattle-free during operation.
The lower cabinet has a dust brush mounted
against the wheel to help prevent buildup on
that tire. We located the brush directly in
front of the large dust port so that the material
swept from the wheel is evacuated from the
cabinet. On the outside of the cabinet is a 4"-
diameter port that makes connecting a standard dust collector hose easy and adapter free.
