Description
Overview
The JET HBS-1018EVS is a 10-inch by 18-inch electronic variable speed horizontal bandsaw built for production cutoff in busy fabrication and machine shops. Electronic speed control, a coolant system, and carbide blade guides keep it cutting accurately through long runs.
Blade speed is electronically controlled from 82 to 330 SFPM, so the operator matches speed to material without belt changes. Coolant runs through the blade guides, a built-in self-propelled blade brush extends blade life, and the carbide guides use parallel double-row ball bearing support for straight cuts. It sits in the fabrication and metalworking sawing lineup from JET.
