Why should you choose a horizontal bandsaw? If you have been asking this question, allow us to answer a few simple questions about the horizontal bandsaw features.

Safety Features

These saws are quieter than most and designed to be free of vibration, providing a safer and smoother cutting experience. The horizontal blade is much more versatile than that of a vertical bandsaw as a horizontal machine does the cutting for you. This is a plus in safety, as with a vertical bandsaw, you need to feed the material into the blade, increasing your risk for potential injury. A horizontal saw can also clamp onto both sides of the stock, keeping it stable and resulting in a more precise cut.

Blade Fatigue

Our bandsaws come complete with the base and cooling system, meaning it will apply cooling fluid to your material as you cut, reducing the risk of overheating and blade fatigue. This also means keeping the material cool and making it easier to cut. These saws are designed to minimize waste and are useful for fast cutting.

Productivity

Some models, such as our EV 97 SA, have expanded the cutting geometry to miter 60 degrees right to improve your fabrication productivity. Horizontal bandsaws are used in larger manufacturing and industrial settings because they provide a higher cutting rate and superior squareness. The material is held in place with a vice and the blades move in a horizontal direction, making its automatic cuts in a sliding motion. These machines offer longer blade life and are capable of precision cuts, especially when cutting straight lines.

Overall, a horizontal bandsaw is the safer, and more effective choice if you’re working in large scale manufacturing and will provide you with quality cuts for years to come, saving you money thanks to the longevity features that preserve your blades.
