Delta Horizontal Band Saw

Tool Info

Manufacturer: Delta
Model: 8” x 14”

A stationary band saw, with an automatic coolant system, that features left or right angle cutting, a built-in protractor for fast and accurate selection of angles, and the stock remains in one position for all cuts.

The Delta Horizontal Band Saw is set up primarily for sawing ferrous and non-ferrous metals, but will work well on most plastics. Because of the type of blade installed you should not cut wood or wood products. The width of the blade is ¾ ”. Given the teeth per inch guideline, the thinnest material you should cut is approximately ⅛”.
