Description
Overview
The JET HBS-1018W is a 10 in x 18 in horizontal bandsaw built for metal cutting in fabrication and machine shops. A heavy duty machined bed limits vibration so the saw holds a clean, repeatable cut over long runs.
This saw cuts up to 10 in round and 10 x 16 in rectangular stock at 90 degrees. A 2 HP single-phase motor drives a belt with four blade speeds, carbide blade guides keep the band square, and coolant feeds through the guides with an oversized chip tray to cut cleanup.
Key Features
- Four blade speeds - a belt drive sets 82, 132, 210, and 330 SFPM to match the material.
- 10 x 18 in capacity - cuts 10 in round and 10 x 16 in rectangular stock at 90 degrees.
- Machined bed - a heavy duty machined table bed limits vibration for precise cuts.
- Carbide blade guides - parallel double-row ball bearing support holds the blade square through the cut.
- Mitering vise to 45 degrees - quick-positioning vise with fully adjustable jaws swivels to 45 degrees.
- Hydraulic downfeed - fully adjustable feed with a separate on/off control valve and coolant through the guides.
