Vertical Toolroom Band Saws Designed to Handle All Metal Cutting Jobs

Palmgren’s High Performance Vertical Toolroom Band Saws from Palmgren are designed to handle all metal cutting jobs from contour sawing, beveling, slicing, ripping, stack cutting and cutting off.

The electric variable speed drive system permits quick, easy speed changes enabling the operator to match the correct speed to the blade and cutting application. The band saw features a heavy-duty oil bath gear box that delivers accurate surface feet per minute to the blade for faster cutting rates. Saws come complete with blade welder, work light, oversized cast iron table with miter gauge and fence, carbide guides and blade speed and pitch selector.

The Palmgren High Performance Vertical Toolroom Band Saw’s welded steel frame, solid cast iron table and infinitely variable speed drive give the #9683120 the rigidity and versatility needed to easily cut a variety of materials.

Related Glossary Terms

  • bandsaw blade ( band)

    bandsaw blade ( band)

    Endless band, normally with serrated teeth, that serves as the cutting tool for cutoff or contour band machines.

  • pitch

    pitch

    1. On a saw blade, the number of teeth per inch. 2. In threading, the number of threads per inch.

  • sawing

    sawing

    Machining operation in which a powered machine, usually equipped with a blade having milled or ground teeth, is used to part material (cutoff) or give it a new shape (contour bandsawing, band machining). Four basic types of sawing operations are: hacksawing (power or manual operation in which the blade moves back and forth through the work, cutting on one of the strokes); cold or circular sawing (a rotating, circular, toothed blade parts the material much as a workshop table saw or radial-arm saw cuts wood); bandsawing (a flexible, toothed blade rides on wheels under tension and is guided through the work); and abrasive sawing (abrasive points attached to a fiber or metal backing part stock, could be considered a grinding operation).

  • sawing machine ( saw)

    sawing machine ( saw)

    Machine designed to use a serrated-tooth blade to cut metal or other material. Comes in a wide variety of styles but takes one of four basic forms: hacksaw (a simple, rugged machine that uses a reciprocating motion to part metal or other material); cold or circular saw (powers a circular blade that cuts structural materials); bandsaw (runs an endless band; the two basic types are cutoff and contour band machines, which cut intricate contours and shapes); and abrasive cutoff saw (similar in appearance to the cold saw, but uses an abrasive disc that rotates at high speeds rather than a blade with serrated teeth).
