Description
Overview
The JET HVBS-712 is a 7-inch by 12-inch horizontal and vertical metalworking bandsaw built for shops that cut bar stock, tube, and angle on a daily basis. It cuts in the horizontal position for stock cutoff and converts to vertical for contour and detail work.
The HVBS-712 runs a belt-to-gear drive into flanged cast iron blade wheels for durability under repeated cuts, and a hydraulic downfeed controls the cut rate so you can walk away during a long cutoff. The wider, taller stand adds a storage cabinet and a chip tray. It belongs in the fabrication and metalworking sawing lineup from JET.
