Frequently Asked Questions

What blade speeds are available on this bandsaw?

This bandsaw offers three selectable blade speeds: 85, 125, and 200 SFPM, allowing the operator to match the cutting speed to the specific material being cut for optimal performance and blade life.

What are the maximum cutting capacities of this saw?

At 90 degrees, the saw cuts round stock up to 5 in. and rectangular stock up to 7-1/2 x 5 in. At 45 degrees, round capacity is 4-1/2 in. and rectangular capacity is 4-1/2 x 5 in.

How does the hydraulic downfeed system work?

The fully adjustable hydraulic downfeed system controls the rate at which the saw head descends through the workpiece, allowing the operator to dial in a consistent, controlled feed rate suited to the material. This reduces blade stress and helps produce cleaner, more accurate cuts.

Is this bandsaw easy to reposition in a shop environment?

Yes. The saw is equipped with wheels and a handle for easy movement, making it straightforward to relocate within a workspace. The heavy duty 14-gauge steel stand with shelf has been redesigned for stability, rigidity and ease of use once the machine is in position.
