Description
Overview
The JET HBS-814GH is an 8 in x 14 in horizontal geared head bandsaw built for metal cutting in fabrication and machine shops. A heavy duty geared head transmission gives quick speed changes, and a hydraulic downfeed controls the cut.
This saw cuts up to 8 in round and 14 x 8 in rectangular stock at 90 degrees, and the vise swivels to 45 degrees for miter work. Hardened and ground drive shaft and worm gears transmit torque to the 12 in blade wheels, while a self propelled blade brush keeps chips clear and extends blade life.
