Powermatic PM1500 15" Bandsaw 3HP, 1PH

The PM1500 packs many of the features traditionally only found on larger bandsaws, and brings them to a new, category-redefining, 15" size. As with every product Powermatic builds, the PM1500 pushes the limits of design, innovation, and durability. It truly is The Gold Standard.
