The PANTHER is our model of the upright sawhead which features a stationary sawhead and a carriage holding the log moves back and forth. The entire upper arm of the bandwheel mount is levered and moves to create the blade tension on our 2 blades. The one shown here runs with a 25hp electric motor. The PANTHER makes an affordable solution for someone with and old circle saw track and carriage, and just wants to put a bandsaw head where the circle saw and husk used to be. Or order a complete PANTHER, on wheels, with head and track fastened together. |

The unit is self standing, self-leveling. This one has 25 bandwheels, but we recommend 30 if space allows it at your site. |
