Tilt-Frame Band Saw

Wilton Machinery avails its Universal Vertical Tilt-Frame Band Saw, model VTF-8. The VTF-8 offers an expanded miter cutting capability of 45 degrees to the left and 60 degrees to the right. The unit has a linear guidance system where the saw head travels on two rails, which utilizes two linear guides with 60 recirculating balls in each guide. Each guide is fitted with way wipes to ensure that chips do not interfere with the cut or travel of the saw head. A direct drive powertrain, coupled with the latest AC inverter variable speed technology, uses no belts or chains. This "no belt" system maximizes the power of the motor to the blade and minimizes vibration.
