JET MBS-1018-3 10" x 18" Horizontal Dual Mitering Bandsaw by JET is a heavy-duty, belt-driven horizontal bandsaw engineered for precision angle cuts in demanding industrial and fabrication environments. Its unique dual-mitering head swings both left and right, enabling fast, accurate cuts across a wide range of materials and angles - making it an ideal choice for metal fabricators, machine shops, and production facilities that require reliable, high-throughput cutting performance.

Key Features

• Dual Mitering Head: Unique design allows the head to miter both left and right for quick, accurate angle cuts without repositioning the workpiece.
• Adjustable Material Stop: Allows for repeatable cuts at consistent lengths, increasing production efficiency and reducing setup time.
• Automatic Shut Off Switch: Automatically stops the sawing process for enhanced operator safety and unattended operation confidence.
• Hydraulic Downfeed Control: Easily adjusted to enable feed rates to evolve with variable types of materials, delivering smooth and consistent cutting performance across stock types.
• Integrated Pressurized Wash Hose: Built-in wash hose makes machine clean up fast and convenient, minimizing downtime between cuts.
• Magnetic Starter: Provides low voltage and lost phase protection, safeguarding the motor and extending machine service life.
• Quick Action Vise: Speeds up workpiece clamping and release on 10" saws, reducing cycle times during high-volume cutting operations.
• Fully Guarded Blade: Heavy-duty construction includes a fully guarded blade for comprehensive operator safety.
• Blade Tension Gauge: Ensures correct blade tension for optimal cutting position and blade longevity.
• Automatic Blade Breakage Sensor: Detects accidental blade breakage and interrupts power immediately to protect operators and workpieces.
• Self-Propelled Blade Brush: Built-in blade brush continuously clears chips from blade guides, reducing wear and maintaining cutting accuracy.

Frequently Asked Questions

What miter angles does the JET MBS-1018-3 support?

The head on the MBS-1018-3 moves up to 45 deg. to the right and 60 deg. to the left, allowing operators to make a wide range of precise angle cuts. At 90 deg., it cuts rectangles up to 10 x 17 in. and rounds up to 10 in. in diameter.

How does the hydraulic downfeed control work on this bandsaw?

The hydraulic downfeed control is easily adjusted, enabling feed rates to evolve with variable types of materials. This ensures smooth, controlled cutting whether working with soft metals, hard alloys, or structural stock, and helps extend blade life while improving cut quality.

What safety features are built into the MBS-1018-3?

This bandsaw includes multiple layers of operator protection: an automatic shut off switch that stops the sawing process, an automatic blade breakage sensor that interrupts power upon detecting accidental breakage, a magnetic starter providing low voltage and lost phase protection, and a fully guarded blade design throughout normal operation.

What power supply is required to operate the JET MBS-1018-3?

The MBS-1018-3 is powered by a 2 HP motor operating on 230/460V, 3 Phase electrical supply. This three-phase configuration is standard for industrial shop environments and provides consistent, efficient power delivery for demanding cutting applications.
