JET MBS-1018 10" × 18" Dual Miter Metal Bandsaw
Are you losing time resetting your saw every time a job calls for a miter cut in metal?
What if your horizontal bandsaw could swing both left and right without stopping your workflow to reconfigure the head?
Meet the JET MBS-1018 10" × 18" Dual Miter Metal Bandsaw, a horizontal cutting machine built to handle angle cuts in both directions from a single setup.
With the MBS-1018, the head miters 45 degrees right and 60 degrees left, and the hydraulic downfeed control, automatic shutoff, and blade breakage sensor work together to keep cuts consistent and the operator safe.
When you need a metal cutting bandsaw that handles a full range of miter angles without slowing down production, the MBS-1018 keeps the work moving.
JET MBS-1018 for Horizontal Miter Cutting in Metal Stock
Dual Mitering Head Handles Left and Right Angle Cuts
The head on the MBS-1018 swings 45 degrees to the right and 60 degrees to the left. This range covers the most common miter angles in metal fabrication and structural work without requiring a separate setup for each direction. You can move between cut angles quickly and keep production on track.
Hydraulic Downfeed Control Matches Feed Rate to the Material
The hydraulic downfeed system lets you dial in the feed rate to match the material you are cutting. Harder stock gets a slower, controlled descent. Lighter profiles can move through faster. Consistent downfeed pressure reduces blade wear and keeps cut surfaces clean across varying cross-sections.
Automatic Shutoff and Blade Breakage Sensor Protect the Cut
An automatic shutoff switch stops the saw at the end of the cut cycle. A separate blade breakage sensor detects accidental blade failure and interrupts power immediately. Both systems work together to protect the workpiece, the blade, and the operator without requiring manual intervention.
Built-In Blade Brush and Pressurized Wash Hose Manage Chip Buildup
The self-propelled blade brush clears chips from the blade guides continuously during the cut. The integrated pressurized wash hose handles cleanup on the machine after the job is done. These two systems reduce the maintenance time between cuts and keep the guides running clean over long production runs.
What's Included
What's Included? JET MBS-1018 10" × 18" Dual Miter Metal Bandsaw
