The Kalamazoo Machine Tool model H235 manual band saw can accurately miter up to 60 degrees to the right while maintaining the material precisely in-line, the company says. The machine can also perform light-duty cutting of tubes, pipes, light structural shapes and small solids up to a material dimension of 8" at 90 degrees. The variable blade speed ranges from 65 to 320 fpm. The drive uses a single-phase power supply and transforms it to power a 230-V, three-phase drive motor. The drive motor is coupled directly to a worm-gear drive for smooth power transmission. The heavy-duty construction includes carbide sawguides and rigid guide supports to ensure accurate, straight cuts, the company says. Other features include manual sawframe raise/lower, manual vise, powered down-feed and various machine status indicators.
