DAYTON Band-Saw-1 Band Saw, 7 x 8 Inch Size, 150 to 255 SFPM, 45 Deg., 14/7A, 1 Phase

Dayton horizontal band saw is utilised for precision cutting of materials, such as metal, plastic and wood into desired shapes and sizes. This saw is suitable for metalworking shops, fabrication and manufacturing units. The wet feature indicates it uses a coolant / lubrication system to enhance cutting efficiency and blade longevity. This band saw has a 2.5-gallon capacity for coolant and has an auto shut-off mechanism at the end of each cut. This machine includes a single-phase coolant pump with a hose. It utilises a direct drive gearbox for power transmission. This saw has heavy-duty casters for easy mobility and features hydraulic feed control for precise cutting. It comes with a nozzle and flow control valve for effective coolant distribution.

Working Mechanism:

• A workpiece is secured on the machine's worktable, which can be adjusted for angle cuts.
• The 1 HP motor powers the horizontal bandsaw blade, enabling it to cut through materials like metal, plastic and wood.
• The wet feature involves a coolant / lubrication system that enhances cutting efficiency by cooling the blade and workpiece during operation, ensuring smoother cuts and prolonging blade life
• The machine's direct drive gearbox and hydraulic feed control contribute to precise and controlled cutting processes.
