The Formula S 540P is the big brother of the S 440P. For those looking for single-phase power, but with a larger throat and even more resaw capacity, this is the machine for you. With all of the features of its smaller brother, this bandsaw will resaw up to 20” of material. Want to make your own veneer? Bring it on!

The Europeans-style guides provide 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.

This machine boasts plenty of features. Thick cast iron wheels are perfectly balanced to reduce vibration and produce a fly wheel effect to aid in the processing of your pieces. Heavy-duty steel frames are the most rigid in their class and are designed to withstand the tension required for a carbide tipped blade.

The Formula S 540P also has vulcanized tires that not only bonds the rubber tires to the wheel, but fuses them so they become like one, which means greater transfer of power. This also makes it nearly impossible to shred them if a blade breaks, and there is less wear and maintenance over their lifetime.

Two dust ports are included on this band saw, not just one like most others. This helps ensure that you will capture more debris, more efficiently.

Saw and carbide blade are performing as expected. Would be helpful to have a blade tension gauge, though the tension scale on saw seems adequate.
