Power. Precision. Protection.

The SawStop Professional Bandsaw is built for woodworkers who demand the best. And it’s the only bandsaw with built-in protection against devastating hand injuries.

UNMATCHED SAFETY: The Professional Bandsaw features Sensic™ Active Safety, SawStop’s name for its family of technologies designed to detect and mitigate blade-contact injuries. Sensic builds on more than two decades of SawStop leadership in active safety, with technology engineered specifically for the mechanics and demands of different machines. In the Professional Bandsaw, Sensic detects contact between the blade and skin and stops the blade in milliseconds, helping reduce the risk of serious injury.

BEST-IN-CLASS RESAW CAPACITY: SawStop’s revolutionary design allows for up to 14” of resaw (vertical) cutting, best among bandsaws with 14” wheels.

FAST, STRAIGHTFORWARD BLADE CHANGES: Thoughtful access and machine design make blade changes quick and easy.

TOOL-FREE BLADE GUIDES: Tool-free blade guides: Eccentric ball-bearing guides allow precise, tool-free adjustments for fast setup and control.

SUPERIOR DUST COLLECTION: Two 4” dust ports with custom-fitted shrouds below the table capture nearly all the dust and chips created during all cuts.

*A dust collector generating at least 300 CFM of airflow required for best results.

POWER: Available 1.75HP (120V) or 3HP (230V) motor options to suit the electrical setup in your shop and the types of cutting you do.

LARGE USER-FRIENDLY TABLE: The 16.9″ x 21.8″ cast iron table provides rigidity and stability for all cuts. The table also tilts up to 45° right and 9° left. A removable insert plate and tilting fence beam allow easy access to remove and replace a blade quickly.

VERSATILE RIP FENCE: A 5.5” tall HDPE fence face can be configured high or low, positioned on either side of the blade, and adjusted forward or back. Integrated adjustment also allows users to compensate for blade drift.

INTEGRATED TASK LIGHTING: A built-in light just above the upper blade guides illuminates the cut area nicely without casting shadows on the cutline.

REINFORCED STEEL FRAME: With 400 pounds of steel and cast iron and a stiff spine, this saw is built to withstand blade tension without flexing and provide the stability you need for precision cutting.

AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC BRAKE: This brake stops the blade within 2 seconds when you hit the start/stop paddle.

  • The Professional Bandsaw includes SawStop’s pioneering safety system that cuts and stops the blade upon contact with skin or any conductive material.
  • 14” of vertical resaw capacity leads this class of bandsaw.
  • Easy blade changes in just a few minutes will have you using the appropriate blade for each type of cut.
  • Tool-free ball-bearing blade guides and thrust bearings eliminate the hassles of changing blades and resetting guides.
  • Two 4” dust collection ports connect to shrouds below the table for nearly complete dust collection.
  • Available 1.75HP (120V) or 3HP (230V) motor options.
  • A large 16.9” x 21.8” cast iron table supports workpieces and reduces vibration, while also providing the ability to tilt up to 45° right. Bypass the 90° table stop to tilt the table up to 9° to the left.
  • A lever on the back that allows you additional leverage for locking the table in place, if needed.
  • A Hi-Low fence with adjusters for drift, forward and back, and right or left positioning eliminates the hassles common to most bandsaw fences. A holder on the back of the saw stores the fence when not in use.
  • The built-in light above the upper blade guides eliminates shadows on the cutline, increasing accuracy and ease of use.
  • Electronic braking stops the blade within 2 seconds of hitting the start/stop paddle.

Frequently Asked Questions

The price for the bandsaw has not been set yet due to volatile supply conditions. We will set the price around the time we start taking pre-orders which is likely to be 3-4 months before the in-store date.

We estimate the Professional Bandsaw will be in-stores in mid-2027 with the ability to pre-order approximately 3-4 months before that.

The Professional Bandsaw will be available with either a 1.75 HP or 3 HP motor.

The maximum resaw height of the Professional Bandsaw is 14”.

Yes. The Professional Bandsaw comes standard with a versatile and easy-to-adjust fence. It can be used with its “high” side for resawing or with its “low” side for small pieces.

Wet or green wood may be able to be cut with the safety system active, depending on the moisture content. We recommend testing the wood in “Bypass Mode” first to be sure the safety system won't activate. Any other potentially conductive material, or pressure treated wood should be cut in “Bypass Mode” to reduce the likelihood of an activation. Pressure treated wood often contains a large amount of copper, which is conductive.

While the brake cartridge is different on the Professional Bandsaw than on our table saws, it uses the same Sensic Active Safety system to detect contact with skin and stop the blade in milliseconds.

No, it is not possible to retrofit another bandsaw with SawStop’s safety system.

There are two dust ports on the Professional Bandsaw – both are below the table, including unique and focused collection immediately below the table surface. Dust extraction above the table obstructs the user’s work path, and dust blowers (the only attempted answers we’ve seen in the market) irresponsibly spread fine dust particles out into the workspace.

Release timelines for the Professional Bandsaw outside of the US and Canada have not yet been determined.  International timelines will be established sometime after the official launch in the US and Canada.

Yes. SawStop will replace a bandsaw brake cartridge for free if the activation is confirmed to have been caused by accidental contact with skin.

With the introduction of the Professional Bandsaw, we are taking the opportunity to refresh our visual identity, including a new logo.
