INTRODUCTION

About This Machine

Capabilities

This metal cutting bandsaw uses a hydraulically- stabilized gravity-fed headstock to make straight cuts through workpieces that are clamped in a vise. Since the workpiece is secured and remains stationary while the blade lowers automatically, accuracy and operator safety are maximized, since the operator can stand safely away from the machine as it is cutting.

The vise on the Model SB1019 is capable of holding rectangular stock up to 7" x 8" and round stock up to 7".

After a cut is complete, the OFF switch is triggered and the motor automatically turns off.

Features

In addition to its capabilities, the Model SB1019 has several features to increase versatility and efficiency.

The headstock swivels and can be rotated to make angled cuts from 45° to the left through 45° to the right while three blade speeds ensure that the proper cutting rate is available for a variety of blade pitches, workpiece sizes and material types.

Both the downfeed rate and pressure are adjustable for fine-tuning each cutting operation and an adjustable auto-OFF power switch maximizes safety and minimizes energy use by turning the machine off at the end of every cut.

A flood coolant system, comprised of a coolant tank and pump in the machine base and an adjustable nozzle at the blade provide adequate coolant for optimum cutting efficiency and blade life.

A storage compartment in the cabinet base provides a convenient location for keeping spare blades or other accessories and the transport handle makes moving the machine easy.
