Introducing the upgraded VW-18-2, an evolution from the VW-18 machine with notable enhancements:
Repositioned Datum: Following the successful design of the V18, we’ve relocated the datum to the back for improved efficiency.
Enhanced Head Rigidity: We’ve reinforced the head to ensure increased rigidity, providing enhanced stability during cutting operations for superior performance.
Upgraded Vise Rigidity: Our commitment to excellence extends to the vises, where we’ve implemented improvements to boost rigidity. This enhancement contributes to a more robust and reliable overall system.
Powered Hydraulic Guide Arm: The VW-18-2 now features a powered hydraulic guide arm, adding a new dimension to precision and control during cutting processes. This innovative addition elevates the machine’s capabilities, offering a seamless and efficient operation.
The VW-18-2 stands out as a semi-automatic, vertical band saw, setting new standards with its mitering capability ranging from 60° left to 60° right. Boasting a generous 22″H x 18″W cutting capacity, a robust 5 HP motor, and a 1 1/4″ blade, this machine is your trusted companion for a wide range of light to medium-duty, vertical metal cutting applications.
Featuring a semi-automatic control that can be conveniently positioned on either side of the saw, the VW-18-2 combines precision with ease of operation for enhanced performance in your metalworking tasks.
