JET HVBS-56M 5" x 6" Horizontal/Vertical Metal Bandsaw
Are you working through metal cuts in a smaller shop or job site without a reliable saw that handles both horizontal and vertical positions?
What if you had a compact bandsaw that switches between cutting modes and holds up through daily production work without taking up floor space you do not have?
Meet the JET HVBS-56M 5" x 6" Horizontal/Vertical Metal Bandsaw, a dual-position metal cutting saw built for smaller operations that need consistent, accurate cuts in steel, aluminum, and other metals.
With the HVBS-56M, you get a 1/2HP motor, three blade speed settings, and fully adjustable ball bearing blade guides that keep the blade tracking straight whether you are cross-cutting stock or ripping in vertical mode.
When your shop runs lean and every piece of equipment needs to earn its place, the HVBS-56M gives you a dependable cut in a footprint that fits.
JET HVBS-56M for Horizontal and Vertical Metal Cutting
Ball Bearing Blade Guides Keep Cuts Straight
The fully adjustable ball bearing blade guides support the blade close to the cut on both sides. This reduces blade deflection so your cuts stay true across round stock, flat bar, and structural shapes. Consistent blade support means less cleanup and more predictable results at the vise.
Three Blade Speed Settings Match Material Requirements
The HVBS-56M runs at 80, 120, or 200 SFPM. Slower speeds handle harder metals and thicker cross-sections without overloading the blade. Higher speeds move through softer stock more efficiently. Selecting the right speed for the material extends blade life and keeps cuts clean.
Vise with 45-Degree Swivel Handles Angle Cuts
The vise swivels to 45 degrees so you can set up miter cuts without repositioning the workpiece by hand. Rectangular capacity reaches 5" x 5-3/4" at 90 degrees and 4-1/2" x 3" at 45 degrees. Round stock cuts up to 5" at 90 degrees and 3" at 45 degrees. The adjustable material stop lets you repeat the same cut length without re-measuring each piece.
Heavy-Duty Steel Stand Keeps the Saw Stable at the Cut
The 14-gauge steel stand is built for rigidity at the base so the saw does not shift during cuts. The redesigned frame adds stability and ease of use compared to earlier versions. Built-in handles and wheels let you move the unit across the shop floor or out to a job site without lifting the full weight.
