Shop Fox 14" Resaw Bandsaw - W1849

Introducing the Shop Fox W1849 14" 2 HP Resaw Bandsaw, a remarkable combination of versatility, capacity, and strength, all wrapped up in an exceptional value package. This middle-weight workhorse has earned its stripes and was proudly recognized as Top Tool by WOOD Magazine, a testament to its superior performance and feature set compared to its competitors.

The heart of the W1849 is its robust 2 HP motor, which stands out for its ability to effortlessly handle 14"-wide cuts – the widest in its test category – without any loss of power or efficiency. This bandsaw demonstrates its capability in handling extensive cutting tasks, ensuring smooth operation even through the most challenging materials.

European design elements are at the forefront of the W1849, enhancing both its functionality and user experience. It features roller disc blade guides, a steel column box-frame with a rigid “W” shaped spine, and a hinged blade guard enclosure. These design choices not only contribute to the saw’s efficiency but also make it a genuine pleasure to use.

One of the most striking features of the W1849 is that it comes fully equipped with essential accessories without any extra cost. This includes the premium, dual-height fence with a hairline indicator scale, providing unmatched precision. The fence, made of cast-iron and aluminum extrusion, is adaptable for various tasks. It can be set to a low position of 1/2" for detailed work or raised to 6" for additional support during resawing taller pieces.

Dust management is expertly handled in the W1849. It incorporates a 4" dust-collection port at the base of the lower wheel cabinet and an additional 4" port that works in tandem with dual blade brushes. This innovative feature efficiently removes debris from the blade just below the table, ensuring a clean and safe working environment.

The W1849 doesn't just stop at performance; it also focuses on convenience. A storage cabinet for blades, a quick-release blade tension lever, and viewing windows for tracking and blade tension settings are included, making it a user-friendly machine. Despite its compact footprint, the W1849 offers oversized performance, making it an ideal choice for both enthusiasts and professional woodworkers seeking a reliable, feature-packed bandsaw.
