Manual Band Saw's Carbide Guides Promote Cut Accuracy

Kalamazoo Machine Tool’s Model H275 manual band saw is said to accurately cut tubes, pipes, light structural shapes and small solids ranging to 10" at 90 degrees. The variable-speed blade ranges from 65 to 320 fpm, and can accurately miter as much as 60 degrees to the right. The saw’s heavy-duty construction, carbide saw guides and rigid guide supports ensure accurate, straight cuts, the company says.

The Model H275 band saw features a 2-hp TEFC motor coupled directly to the worm gear drive for smooth power transmission to the saw blade. Operations include manual saw frame raise, manual vise and hydraulic/solenoid-powered downfeed. Status indicators include "power on," "correct blade tension," "broken blade" and "band wheel cover open." The band saw also features 24-V controls, a bimetal blade with shutoff for broken blade or low tension conditions, a blade drive load monitor and a full coolant system.
