Country of Origin: Taiwan Prop 65: Cancer and Reproductive Harm Frequently Asked Questions Can this bandsaw make angled cuts, and how far can it miter? Yes. The head is designed to miter both left and right, with a head movement range of +/- 45 degrees. A built-in protractor allows for fast and accurate angle cutting across that full range. Does this saw support both horizontal and vertical cutting? Yes. The HVBS-8-DMW converts easily between horizontal and vertical cutting positions. In vertical mode, it features a large 16" x 10" cutting table to support the workpiece during operation. How is the downfeed rate controlled, and can it be adjusted for different materials? The head is pressure controlled by a hydraulic cylinder, and the hydraulic downfeed control is easily adjusted enabling feed rates to evolve with variable types of materials, giving the operator precise control over cutting speed. What safety features are included to protect the operator? Several safety features are built in: the blade is fully guarded for operator safety, a power switch with safety key prevents accidental start up, and an automatic shut off switch stops the sawing process once the cut is complete.
