Startrite Startrite 400mm Industrial Bandsaw (400V)
The Startrite 400mm Industrial bandsaw features a large cast iron table to provide substantial workpiece support. The table has been finely ground to reduce friction and provide an accurate datum. The table has also been seated on heavy cast double trunnions, machined to ensure smooth and accurate movement and also provide rock solid table support over the full range of table positions.This band saw also benefits from heavy duty band wheels which are cast iron and are balanced and fitted with high quality rubber tyres to aid tracking, giving the essential torque needed when performing heavy duty cutting. The top wheels are mounted to heavy duty industrial tensioning systems, and for fast and easy blade changing, all models feature a quick-release blade tension system.The tool posts are made from steel bars mounted in heavy castings and machined with a rack to enable safe and easy rack and pinion adjustment of the upper blade guides and guard. The side guides are industrial ball race bearing guides which offer a good surface area to resist blade twist, having easy and precise adjustment for simple setting. In addition, they are protected by a strong blade guard.The rip fences are deep and made from heavy extrusions. These are fixed to cast iron mounts which in turn are mounted on steel ground bars that run the full width of the tables to enable easy use of the fences on both sides of the blade. This unit features mechanical braking, making it ideal for use in educational environments.
