JET HBS-56S 5" × 6" Metal Bandsaw
Are you losing time on metal cuts because your saw can't hold a consistent angle without resetting the workpiece?
What if you could lock your stock in place and swing the blade head to any angle you need, from a square crosscut to a steep 60-degree miter, without moving the material?
Meet the JET HBS-56S, a horizontal mitering bandsaw built for metal fabrication shops that need repeatable cuts across a range of angles and stock sizes.
With the HBS-56S, the head swivels independently of the base, so the workpiece stays secured in position while you dial in any cut from 0 to 60 degrees.
When you run this saw day after day, you get clean crosscuts and accurate miters without the extra handling that slows your work down.
JET HBS-56S for Accurate Mitering and Metal Crosscuts
Swiveling Head Keeps the Workpiece Stationary
The HBS-56S uses a head-swivel design that lets you change your cut angle without repositioning the stock. The head moves through a full 60-degree range while the vise and base stay fixed. This reduces handling time and keeps your material secure from the first cut to the last.
Hydraulic Downfeed System Controls Cut Rate
The fully adjustable hydraulic downfeed regulates how fast the blade descends through the material. You set the rate to match the stock you are cutting, and the saw holds that pace through the entire cut. This keeps blade load consistent and reduces the risk of stalling or blade wear from an uncontrolled drop.
Ball Bearing Blade Wheels Support Smooth Tracking
The blade wheels run on ball bearings, which keeps rotation smooth and reduces vibration during the cut. Consistent wheel support means the blade tracks evenly and holds its path through round stock and rectangular sections alike. You get a cleaner cut face with less cleanup work at the bench.
Enclosed Stand with Wheels Keeps the Saw Mobile
The deluxe enclosed stand puts the work surface at a comfortable 28-inch bed height and includes integrated wheels and a handle. You can move the saw to where the work is without removing accessories or breaking down the setup. The enclosed cabinet keeps chips and debris contained beneath the machine.
