Developed to compete with high-end European bandsaws, the Grizzly G0636X 17 in. 5 HP Ultimate Bandsaw combines substantial cutting capacity with exceptional rigidity and vibration-absorbing mass. Its heavy-duty construction, fully balanced cast-iron wheels, precision-ground table, and powerful 5 HP motor create a machine designed for demanding woodworking and resawing applications.

With a 16-1/2 in. throat capacity and 16 in. maximum resaw capacity, the G0636X provides substantial clearance for large workpieces. The extra-wide 21 in. x 25-1/2 in. cast-iron table offers a large, stable work surface and tilts from 5° left to 45° right for angled cuts.

A deluxe cast-iron fence with an extruded-aluminum resaw fence provides strong support for tall stock, while rack-and-pinion adjustments make table and upper-guide positioning precise and convenient.
