Description
Twisted structural beam cuts and blade stall disrupt steel fabrication when slicing heavy channel on lightweight cutoff saws. The JET HVBS-712D 7in x 12in deluxe horizontal and vertical bandsaw delivers square cuts through heavy structural steel using a 1.5 HP motor. Moving this five-hundred-pound industrial machine across soft shop surfaces requires heavy forklift rigging or overhead cranes.
A massive cast iron bow structure pivots on hardened steel trunnion pins, damping destructive tooth vibration across broad structural steel flanges. The 1.5 HP dual-voltage induction motor transfers rotational power through a hardened steel worm gear and centrifugally cast bronze worm wheel running inside a sealed oil bath. Carbide blade guide blocks combine with ball bearing rollers to hold the 3/4-inch bi-metal band tracking dead true under heavy downfeed force.
Deluxe Metal Bandsaw Hardware Parameters
Structural fabrication shops demand square cuts across seven-inch solid rounds and twelve-inch beams without operator hand guidance. Hydraulic descent cylinders regulate downward feed rates to prevent tooth stripping on hard inclusion spots.
- 1.5 HP dual-voltage motor operates on 115 or 230-volt single-phase power to slice dense carbon steels
- Four blade speeds of 86, 132, 178, and 260 feet per minute match diverse metal alloys and pipe profiles
- 7-inch round and 7×12-inch rectangular cut envelope clears large structural channel and solid billets
- Hydraulic downfeed control regulates head descent speed to prevent blade tooth breakage on hard spots
- Heavy cast iron vise swivels forty-five degrees to make accurate miter cuts on structural tubing
- Built-in flood coolant pump washes metal chips out of the cut kerf to maximize bi-metal blade life
- Automatic shutoff limit switch cuts motor power the instant the bow completes the through cut
Bench Load Telemetry Amperage Draw
Idle current draw measures 4.8 amps on 115-volt line power. Sectioning five-inch solid 1018 cold-rolled steel bar at 132 feet per minute brings continuous current draw to 11.8 amps while band speed remains steady. Hydraulic descent valves hold head drop 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 machine to cut thin corrugated sheet metal or unclamped bundles of loose tubing. Operators who lower the heavy cast bow without opening the hydraulic feed valve strip band teeth instantly. Empty steel chips out of the coolant pump tank at the end of each work shift. Change the bronze gear oil after every five hundred hours of cutting operation. Check blade tracking alignment on the drive wheels before tensioning new bands.
Warranty Protection Standard Package Items
A 2-Year limited warranty covers mechanical drive parts, casting soundness, and electrical switches under commercial usage. The shipment includes the horizontal bandsaw chassis, floor stand, bi-metal cutting blade, flood coolant pump, material stop rod, and operational tool set.
