The bigger brother of the B300, this floorstanding woodworking bandsaw has a cutting capacity of 230mm (9″), to satisfy professional workshops. The power is delivered by a quiet induction motor with a belt drive to the bandsaw wheel. A two speed pulley allows the correct blade speed to be selected, depending on the hardness of the material being cut. The key to straight and accurate cutting on a bandsaw is to have a good set of blade guides. The B350 has three sealed bearings on the blade guard. Two mounted side-on to the blade to control blade twist and keep it true. The rear bearing takes the thrust of the back of the blade allowing it to run freely. The same setup is then repeated beneath the table.
The cast iron table tilts from 90 degrees to 45 degrees, on a rack & pinion, and has a positive stop at both of those positions. Any angle in between can be read off the scale and locked in. For rip cuts the guide fence can be situated on either side of the blade, can be locked into position with a single press of the lever and has a clear marker to set against the metric scale. The fence itself can be fitted in two ways. When cutting thicker material the full face height of 60mm is used. When cutting thin and narrow strips the fence is fitted with the small face, against the blade to allow clearance around the guides. The bandsaw is fitted with an LED work light on a flexible stem, so that the work area will always be well lit.
The two doors are fitted with safety locks which cut power to the motor when the doors are open for blade changing or cleaning.
Tensioning the blade correctly is made simple thanks to the features on this premium model. A blade tension lever quickly sets the tension. After a blade change fine tuning can be carried out with the aid of a tension indicator and scale. The required tension varies according to blade width. A window in the top door allows the operator to confirm blade tension is correct and make an adjustment when necessary.
A dust extractor is always recommended when using a bandsaw. The dust collection outlet has 3 rings which allow it to accept 3 sizes of hose, 50mm, 75mm & 100mm diameter making it compatible with any type of extraction system. If extraction is not being used however, the bandsaw is fitted with an integral dust collection draw. Dust falling into the base of the machine will be collected here, allowing it to be quickly and easily emptied.
Supplied with 1/2” x 4tpi blade, rip fence, mitre fence, work light, floorstand, cable and plug.
This Bandsaw is fitted with a High Quality, British manufactured blade with precision ground teeth for incredible cutting results.
The primary use of this bandsaw is for woodworking and the blade supplied is suitable for cutting both hard and soft woods. The blade supplied can also cut Non-ferrous metals, Plastic and Acrylic. It is possible to use this bandsaw for cutting other materials, but only with a suitable blade fitted.

Fast delivery ordered on the Saturday received on the Tuesday, excellent saw, setup no problems pretty true out the box. Machine seems sturdy and well put together reasonably good cut with supplied ½”blade managed to rip an 8” Robinia log no problems although a ¾” blade would have been a better option.

I am very pleased with this bandsaw. Substantial, heavy and with a particularly large cutting capacity for a domestic situation. Well made, clear instructions and while it took a little while to set up, this wasn’t a difficult task and simply required a step by step approach. Cuts have been clean, efficient and accurate and although I have also purchased an additional larger, aggressive blade, the supplied blade is perfectly adequate for most tasks. I have purchased the optional wheelbase and would suggest that this is essential for anyone who has to move the bandsaw even once after assembly.

The item sent was faulty. After investing loads of time to stop it from wobbling around when switched on (including buying the recommended wheel base set), I realised the top rubber tyre was faulty, poorly moulded and thicker in some places than others, causing the whole assembly to vibrate and wobble. I sent Yandles a video of the problem which was clear to see. Yandles relayed the problem to Charnwood who said they would contact me directly. They didn’t, contact me for 4 days, so being concerned about Charnwood’s shoddy customer service I have requested a replacement saw from Yandles. We’ll see what happens next I guess…N.B. Yandles have been great, it’s the item and Charnwood’s service that have provoked this review.
