JET HBS-1220MSAH 12" x 20" Variable Speed Mitering Metal Bandsaw with Hydraulic Vise
Are you losing time on metal cutting jobs because your saw can't hold a miter angle or manage feed rate across different materials?
What if your bandsaw handled the downfeed automatically, held your stock firmly in a hydraulic vise, and let you dial in blade speed without stopping the job?
Meet the JET HBS-1220MSAH, a 12" x 20" semi-automatic horizontal metal bandsaw built for shops that cut a range of steel stock and need repeatable results at multiple angles.
With the HBS-1220MSAH, you get hydraulic downfeed control, a mitering head that swings to 45 degrees, variable blade speed, and a built-in coolant system that keeps the blade running clean through both guides.
When your saw manages the feed rate and holds the cut angle for you, you spend less time adjusting and more time moving material through the shop.
JET HBS-1220MSAH for Semi-Automatic Metal Cutting at Miter Angles
Hydraulic Downfeed Control Matches Feed Rate to the Material
The hydraulic downfeed system lets you set the feed rate to match the stock you are cutting. Whether you are working through solid round bar or structural sections, you can adjust the rate without interrupting the cut. This keeps blade wear consistent and reduces the chance of stalling or blade deflection on harder material.
Mitering Head Cuts Up to 45 Degrees
The head rotates to cut miter angles up to 45 degrees, giving you accurate angled cuts on steel without repositioning the stock. The semi-automatic bow raises to a preset height after each cut, so the saw is ready for the next piece without manual reset. This keeps production moving when you are cutting multiple pieces at the same angle.
Hydraulic Vise Holds Stock Securely During Setup and Cutting
The hydraulic vise clamps stock firmly and opens to 19-5/8 inches, handling a wide range of material sizes. An auxiliary roller support on the back of the vise helps you position longer or heavier stock without a second set of hands. Setup is faster and the workpiece stays fixed through the full length of the cut.
Circulating Coolant System and Blade Brush Protect the Blade
Coolant circulates through both blade guides during the cut, reducing heat buildup and extending blade life on demanding materials. The built-in self-propelled blade brush clears chips from the guides continuously so debris does not affect tracking or blade wear. An automatic blade breakage sensor monitors the blade and cuts power if a break is detected, protecting both the operator and the workpiece.
