Description
Overview
The JET HVBS-712DV is the variable speed deluxe version of JET's 7-inch by 12-inch horizontal and vertical metalworking bandsaw. A DC motor with knob-turn speed control replaces belt changes, so you set blade speed for the material without stopping the machine.
The 1 HP DC motor produces blade speeds from 88 to 270 SFPM and lets the operator dial in the right speed for steel, aluminum, or harder alloys. The multi-position blade guide raises vertical throat capacity from 4 inches to 8 inches, and a 9-1/16 x 11-7/8 inch worktable supports vertical work. It sits in the fabrication and metalworking sawing lineup from JET.
