Description
Overview
The JET J-7040M is a 10 in x 16 in horizontal mitering bandsaw built for fabrication shops that cut angles all day. A swiveling head lets the saw cut any angle from 0 to 45 degrees while the base and the secured workpiece stay put, which keeps miters accurate and repeatable.
This saw cuts up to 10 in round and 10 x 14 in rectangular stock at 90 degrees, with an 8-1/2 in round capacity at 45 degrees. A 2 HP three-phase motor drives a variable speed system through a hardened gear transmission running in an oil bath, and a six contact point blade guide keeps the band tracking through heavy cuts.
Key Features
- Swivel head mitering - the head swivels 0 to 45 degrees while the workpiece stays secured for accurate, repeatable miters.
- 10 x 16 in capacity - cuts 10 in round and 10 x 14 in rectangular stock at 90 degrees.
- Variable speed drive - sets blade speed to match material and section size.
- Six contact point blade guides - cam follower bearings on eccentric shafts on both sides of the blade keep it square.
- Oil bath transmission - hardened and ground gears run in an oil bath for durable, quiet power.
- Controlled downfeed - dual counterbalance springs work with a hydraulic cylinder to control the rate of descent.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the J-7040M cut miters?
The head swivels from 0 to 45 degrees while the base and the clamped workpiece stay in place. This keeps angle cuts accurate without repositioning the stock.
What can it cut?
At 90 degrees it cuts up to 10 in round and 10 x 14 in rectangular stock. At 45 degrees it cuts up to 8-1/2 in round.
What power does it require?
It uses a 2 HP three-phase motor rated for 230/460V. Confirm your three-phase service before installation.
How is the blade speed set?
The J-7040M uses a variable speed drive, so you can dial in the blade speed for the material and section being cut.
How are the blade guides built?
The adjustable guides use a six contact point system with cam follower bearings on eccentric shafts on both sides of the blade, plus side bearings and carbide pads to distribute the load.
