JET J-3130 5" x 8" Dry Horizontal Metal Bandsaw
Are you losing time fighting a saw that can't hold a consistent cut through metal stock?
What if your saw handled the feed rate on its own and shut off cleanly at the end of every cut?
Meet the JET J-3130 5" x 8" Horizontal Metal Bandsaw, a shop-grade horizontal bandsaw built for accurate, repeatable metal cutting in a professional machine shop environment.
With the J-3130, a fully adjustable hydraulic downfeed system controls the blade's descent through the material, and a steel worm gear driving a bronze worm gear in an oil bath delivers consistent power to the blade.
When you need a saw that handles the cut from start to finish and stops itself when the work is done, the J-3130 earns its place in the shop.
JET J-3130 for Accurate, Controlled Metal Cutting
Hydraulic Downfeed System Controls Cut Rate
The fully adjustable hydraulic downfeed system manages how fast the blade moves through the material. You set the rate to match the stock, and the saw holds it steady through the full cut. When the cut is complete, the auto shutoff stops the machine without any input from the operator.
Steel Worm and Bronze Gear Drive Delivers Consistent Blade Power
The blade drive pairs a heat-treated steel worm gear with a bronze worm gear running in an oil bath. This drivetrain handles the load of cutting metal stock without generating excess heat or wear over time. Three blade speeds — 85, 125, and 200 SFPM — let you match cutting speed to the material.
Adjustable Blade Guides Keep the Blade on Track
Side eccentric shaft blade guides with ball bearings and rear ball bearings hold the blade in alignment through the cut. Proper guide adjustment keeps blade drift under control and supports clean, repeatable cuts in round and rectangular stock. The adjustable material stop adds a second reference point for repeat cuts.
Built-In Wheels and Handle Support Shop Mobility
The J-3130 includes integrated wheels and a handle that make repositioning within the shop straightforward. At 143 pounds net weight, the saw stays stable during use but can be moved without tools or additional equipment when your workflow requires it.
