This new model shares all the same main features & specifications as the original BS350X but with a number of improvements, including an open legst&, often requested by our users as it provides greater stability. The bandwheels are cast iron & dynamically balanced with precision ground, crowned rubber tyres usually only found on much more expensive industrial machines, the flywheel effect of the cast iron wheels improving cutting performance & speeds. A new one piece cast double trunnion has been designed to provide even greater support & rigidity. This design retains the one handed rack & pinion tilt feature found on the original machine. Another significant improvement is the rip fence, already the strongest & most industrial in its category the fence rail is now chromed & the mount is now machined from a single piece of cast iron. The extrusion itself has been upgraded to a heavier section to improve rigidity & accuracy, particularly when ripping deep material.
