Triangular Design Frame and Iron Table for Optimum Stability

Thanks to both a triangular design frame for superior column rigidity and a 19-square-inch precision ground cast-iron table that tilts 10 degrees left and 45 degrees right for additional stability, the 710751B lets you tackle both smaller and large-scale projects with flexibility and control. The triangular column design reduces rotational twist by 65 percent versus the traditional square column design. The curved-face, all-steel cabinet doors also increase the 710751B's rigidity, with the doors overlapping the cabinet openings with a special sealing strip that helps to contain the dust.

High Capacity and Quick-Release Blade Tensioning for Convenience

The 710751B has a 12-1/4-inch resaw capacity for cutting large pieces of wood, slicing through veneers, and cutting book matched panels at a blade speed of 3,000 SPFM. And thanks to the quick-release blade tensioning with two settings, you can better keep each job on track. One setting releases cutting tension and a second release setting allows for fast and easy blade changes. And the all-cast-iron hand wheels make smooth, easy blade adjustments with less effort.

Dust Port and Computer-Balanced Wheels for Precise Operation

By helping to prevent dust or debris from blocking your view of materials, the four-inch dust port can make your space cleaner and your work more productive. For added convenience, this port also lets you connect a dust collection system directly to it without the need for additional parts. The precision computer-balanced, eight-spoke wheels also help eliminate vibration for accurate blade tracking.

Independently Adjustable Ball Bearing Guide System

The 710751B offers time-saving features, including a tool-less, independently adjustable ball bearing guide system for quick and easy adjustments and smooth operation, and a single knob tracking adjustment to simplify the blade-tracking process.

Blade-Tracking Window and Dual Locking Doors for Safety

To help ensure on-the-job safety, a blade-tracking window and light-colored tire provide a clear view of the blade during tracking, and dual locking cabinet doors allow quick access to the blade when necessary. The 710751B is backed by a five-year limited warranty.
