Record Power Sabre 250 Bandsaw

Sabre 250 Band Saw

The BS250 has long been one of Record Power's best-selling bandsaws and has a solid reputation as being probably the best benchtop bandsaw on the market. Following the development of the SABRE-350 and SABRE-450, they decided to take some of the DNA of these revolutionary new machines and inject it into the BS250, to produce the definitive small bandsaw with premium features and unparalleled performance at this level of the market.

By taking the most relevant features from the existing SABRE series and applying them to the BS250, they believe they have produced the best benchtop bandsaw available on the market below £400.

In addition, they believe that the capacities, power and performance upgrades, combined with the unique SABRE features now found on this machine, make it a real contender in the general purpose floor-standing bandsaw category when combined with the BS250-AW stand and wheel kit. In this configuration it has quality and features well ahead of many of the lower cost floor-standing machines available in the market.

The end result is a premium-quality, affordable bandsaw which retains the compact size of the BS250 while offering improved capacities, usability, accuracy and performance.

Band Wheels

The improved, heavier band wheels give smooth and powerful performance.

Double-Sided Rip Fence Mount

The fence mount design allows the fence to be placed to the right-hand side of the blade, with the fence extrusion secured on the opposite side of the mount. Ideal for supporting timber when cutting with the table at an angle.

Cam-Action Blade Tension Adjustment

Usually found only on larger machines, the strong tensioning system features a cam-action tension release to help make blade change quick and easy.

Easy-Adjust Blade Guides

The spring-loaded blade guides can be adjusted quickly and easily without tools.

Fine Adjustment

The rip fence mount features easily accessible screws for fine adjustment of the fence in relation to the blade, for increased accuracy.

Table

A solid, finely ground cast iron table provides an ideal and low friction work support.

Integral Rip Fence Holder

When the rip fence is not in use it can be stored safely on the side of the machine.

Offset Door Hinges

Even with the bandsaw positioned with the spine against the workshop wall, the offset hinges enable the door to open far enough to give good access for blade changes without the need to take the door off or move the bandsaw away from the wall.
