JET HBS-916EVS 9" x 16" Variable Speed Horizontal Metal Bandsaw
Are you losing time on metal cuts that demand constant blade speed adjustments between materials?
What if you could dial in the exact blade speed for each job without stopping the workflow to swap pulleys or change settings manually?
Meet the JET HBS-916EVS 9" x 16" Variable Speed Horizontal Metal Bandsaw, a production-ready horizontal saw built for shops that cut a wide range of metal stock on a regular basis.
With the HBS-916EVS, you get electronic variable speed control, a built-in coolant system routed directly through the blade guides, and a fully adjustable hydraulic downfeed that keeps cut pressure steady and consistent from start to finish.
When your saw holds its settings, delivers clean repeatable cuts, and keeps your blade running longer, you move through stock faster with less downtime between jobs.
JET HBS-916EVS for Accurate, Repeatable Metal Cutting
Electronic Variable Speed Matches Blade Speed to the Material
The HBS-916EVS runs blade speed from 82 to 330 SFPM using electronic variable speed control. You set the speed directly from the control without stopping the machine or changing drive components. This lets you move from mild steel to harder alloys without switching setups or risking blade damage from the wrong cutting speed.
Hydraulic Downfeed Maintains Consistent Cut Pressure
The fully adjustable hydraulic downfeed controls how fast the bow descends into the cut. A separate on/off control valve lets you engage or disengage the downfeed independently. This keeps pressure steady through the full stroke so the blade works evenly across the material rather than grabbing or stalling at the start of a cut.
Carbide Blade Guides with Parallel Double-Row Ball Bearing Support
The carbide blade guides use parallel double-row ball bearings to hold the blade stable through the cut. This reduces blade flex and keeps tracking consistent as the bow drops. Stable blade support means cleaner cuts and longer blade life, especially when cutting larger solid stock near the full 9" x 16" capacity.
Integrated Coolant System Extends Blade Life
Coolant is distributed directly through the blade guides rather than applied separately. This keeps the cutting zone cool at the contact point where heat builds up fastest. The built-in self-propelled blade brush works alongside the coolant system to clear chips from the blade continuously, reducing heat and friction through the full length of each cut.
