This benchtop bandsaw offers great performance in a small space. The 750W induction motor has an inverter drive that varies the speed in the range 42 to 1,001 m/min. Using the lower belt position and reducing the motor speed the AP1854BV can be used for cutting metal. With the correct blade fitted it will cut mild steel-plate up to 10mm thick. Thicker or harder materials such as stainless steel cannot be cut in volume on this bandsaw. The heavy gauge welded, one piece frame is extremely rigid to withstand high blade tensions. The cast iron table features a ground table surface and a rack and pinion tilt mechanism with indexing stops for common angles. The heavy gauge alloy rip fence is mounted on a cast alloy bracket which also incorporates a fine width adjustment. The fence is clamped with a cam action lever, easily released to allow swift adjustment. Blade guides are all ball bearing with micro adjustment for accurate control. The top guide is mounted on a steel hexagon bar for stiffness and adjusted for height by a small rack and pinion system. The cast iron band wheels are precision machined and balanced. This model is a true all round machine, suitable for many kinds of projects using all kinds of materials. Supplied with a 1/2" x 6tpi bandsaw blade. An optional floor stand is available, featuring adjustable height feet to give a comfortable working height.
