JET HVBS-712V 7" x 12" Variable Speed Horizontal/Vertical Metal Bandsaw
Are you losing time on metal cuts because your saw runs at a fixed speed that doesn't match the material in front of you?
What if you could dial in the right blade speed for each job without stopping to change belts or swap pulleys?
Meet the JET HVBS-712V 7" x 12" Variable Speed Horizontal/Vertical Metal Bandsaw, a dual-position metal cutting saw built for shops that need reliable throughput across a range of stock sizes and materials.
With the HVBS-712V, a sealed gear drive, hydraulic downfeed, and tool-free vise work together to keep cuts consistent and setup time short.
When your saw matches the pace of your shop, you spend more time cutting and less time adjusting.
JET HVBS-712V for Horizontal and Vertical Metal Cutting
Variable Speed Blade Control Matches the Material
The HVBS-712V runs blade speeds from 88 to 270 SFPM, adjustable with a single knob. There are no belts to swap between cuts. This lets you set the right speed for the stock in the vise — whether you're cutting mild steel, aluminum, or other non-ferrous material — without breaking your workflow.
Sealed Hardened Gear Drive Delivers Consistent Torque
The saw runs on a 1HP, 115V DC motor paired with a sealed, hardened, and ground gear drive. The gear drive keeps torque steady through the cut and protects the drivetrain from chips and coolant. This combination holds cutting speed even when working through thicker cross-sections.
Hydraulic Downfeed Controls Cut Rate
The hydraulic downfeed lets you regulate how fast the bow descends through the workpiece. A controlled feed rate reduces blade deflection and produces cleaner cut faces. It also extends blade life by preventing the kind of aggressive contact that comes from an unregulated drop.
Tool-Free Vise and Multi-Position Blade Guides Speed Setup
The vise swivels to 45 degrees without tools, and the material stop adjusts without tools as well. The multi-position blade guides are set to match the work at hand. Together these systems reduce the time between cuts when you're working through a production run or cutting stock to length in volume.
