Machine Description

The bandsaw is a versatile cuting tool that can be used to perform a wide variety of cuts in wood workpieces.

The bandsaw features a flexible steel band with teeth on one edge that fits around two wheels, which rotate during operation to drive the blade.

When a workpiece is pushed against the mov- ing blade, the downward force of the blade teeth scrape across the workpiece and, in effect, cut it. Blade guides on both sides of the cutting area keep the blade from flexing or being pushed off the wheels from the horizontal pressure of the workpiece while cutting.

Another significant characteristic of this bandsaw is the precision-bearing blade guides. These guides ensure that the blade remains stable during operation, reducing blade deflection and enhancing the quality of cuts. The G0514 is equipped with a heavy-duty cast iron frame and base, which not only ensures stability and durability but also helps minimize vibrations—giving users a smoother cutting experience.
