Description
Crooked miter cuts and frequent workpiece repositioning slow down structural steel fabrication when cutting angled joints on rigid cutoff saws. The Ellis 10 Ft. 1HP Electric mitre band saw bundle delivers fast angular cuts through a swivel head that pivots while the stock stays clamped. Moving this seven-hundred-pound machine across soft dirt construction grades requires crane straps or heavy-capacity forklifts.
A massive cast iron saw bow mounts to a heavy cast iron swivel base, allowing head rotation up to forty-five degrees without unclamping long structural steel bars. The single-phase motor drives an industrial step pulley and sealed worm gear reducer that drops motor RPM to controlled metal-cutting velocities. Ball bearing blade guides hold the 1-inch bi-metal band tracking dead true, while two roller support stands support long structural steel channel.
Mitre Metal Bandsaw Hardware Specifications
Structural fabrication shops demand dead-square cuts across steel tubing and pipe without constant operator hand pressure. Swiveling miter bows allow angular cuts without swinging twenty-foot structural steel bars across shop bays.
- 1 HP electric motor operates on standard 115-volt single-phase power to slice dense carbon steels
- Three blade speeds of 70, 135, and 250 feet per minute match diverse metal alloys and pipe profiles
- 10-inch round and 11-inch flat cutting envelope accommodates large structural beam profiles
- Swivel head miter design swings up to forty-five degrees to execute accurate frame angles without moving stock
- Built-in air cooling system blows metal swarf out of the cut kerf to maximize blade longevity
- Quick-action cam vise clamps material rigid against the hardened rear fence during heavy cuts
- Two heavy-duty roller support stands support long structural channel and beam profiles flat
Bench Load Telemetry Amperage Draw
Idle current draw measures 4.8 amps on 115-volt line power. Sectioning four-inch solid 1045 steel bar at 135 feet per minute brings continuous current draw to 9.8 amps while band speed remains steady. Head descent controls hold feed rates within three thousandths of an inch per second. Operating sound levels register at 71 dBA, maintaining a quiet work environment in steel fabrication bays.
Field Service Trade-Offs Application Filter
Do not use this heavy machine for thin sheet metal contouring or woodworking scroll operations. Operators who lower the heavy bow onto steel stock without hand control strip blade teeth instantly. Blow steel filings out of the blade guide bearings at the end of each shift. Check worm gear oil levels through the sight plug every two hundred hours of runtime. Verify blade tracking centered on the wheels before tensioning new bands.
Warranty Protection Standard Package Items
A 1-Year limited warranty covers casting soundness, gearbox parts, and electrical motor switches. The shipment includes the mitre bandsaw, floor stand, two roller support stands, bi-metal cutting band, material stop rod, and operational tool kit.
