Grizzly is proud to offer these full-featured Extreme 17 in. Heavy-duty Bandsaws with cast iron wheels. The 2 HP motor powers through wood at a maximum 12 in. cutting capacity and the 16-1/4 in. throat is plenty for most applications. Features like the deluxe fence, extra-wide cast iron table, heavy-duty miter gauge, dual 4 in. dust ports, micro-adjusting geared table, and double ball-bearing blade guides are usually found on machines costing much more. The CSA and ISO 9001 factory designations assure high quality standards. The motor brake on the G0513X2BF stops the blade in 3 seconds and ensures greater safety and faster production times. The foot pedal activates the electronic motor brake and the manual brake so that you can have both of your hands on the workpiece when bringing the blade to a stop.
