WOODFAST BS71A BANDSAW · FIRST LOOK
Australian workshop preview coming soon · Target AU/NZ release late Q4 2026 or early Q1 2027
Factory testing is complete, and the first Woodfast BS71A bandsaw is getting ready to hit Australian shores.
Once it lands, the Beyond Tools team will make the first Australian cuts in collaboration with Woodfast and Jaccra Industries. The session will form part of the final hands-on review before the rollout across Australia and New Zealand is confirmed.
Register your interest to see the first cuts and be among the first to hear when pricing and availability are confirmed.
The Woodfast BS710AU is a heavy-duty woodworking bandsaw for resawing thick timber, ripping wide boards and cutting large furniture and joinery components. Its 4 kW motor drives the blade at 1,200 m/min, with a maximum cutting height of 460 mm and a 690 mm throat.
A tall rip fence with a heavy-duty guide rail supports upright stock during resawing. The 700 × 840 mm main table tilts up to 45° for angled cuts, and a secondary table adds workpiece support. Cast iron bandwheels, adjustable blade guides and a double-bar blade tensioning system round out the setup.
