JET VBS-1813VS-DC 18" Vertical Metal Bandsaw
Are you losing cut quality when your bandsaw can't hold a steady speed through thick steel plate or dense bar stock?
What if your saw could dial in the exact blade speed for each material, from thin-wall tubing to solid aluminum bar, without changing a belt or pulley?
Meet the JET VBS-1813VS-DC 18" Vertical Metal Bandsaw, an 18-inch variable speed vertical bandsaw built for demanding metal cutting work in a professional shop environment.
With the VBS-1813VS-DC, you get a brushless DC motor, a full 18-inch throat, continuous variable speed from 90 to 1600 SFPM, and a suite of integrated safety systems designed to protect the operator and the machine.
When you put this saw to work, you get clean, controlled cuts across a range of metals with a machine that holds up to daily shop use.
JET VBS-1813VS-DC for Precise, Repeatable Metal Cutting
Brushless DC Motor Delivers Consistent Cutting Power
The 1HP brushless DC motor maintains steady output under load without the heat buildup or brush wear associated with conventional motors. This translates to consistent blade speed through the cut, which matters when you are working through thick cross-sections of steel or aluminum. Reduced maintenance needs also mean less downtime between jobs.
Continuous Variable Speed Matches Blade Speed to Material
The variable speed range runs from 90 to 1600 SFPM with no belt changes required. You set the speed that fits the material at hand, whether that is slower for hard ferrous metals or faster for non-ferrous stock. That adjustment happens at the control, not behind a panel, so you stay focused on the work.
Blade Breakage Sensor and Door Latch Protect Operator and Machine
The integrated blade breakage sensor shuts the machine down immediately if a blade fails mid-cut. The door safety latch sensor prevents operation when the wheel cover is open. These systems work together to keep the operator safe and prevent secondary damage to the machine when something goes wrong.
Internal Chip Blower and LED Lighting Keep the Cut Line Clear
The internal chip blower moves swarf away from the cut line without requiring a separate air nozzle or manual clearing between passes. LED lighting illuminates the blade and work surface directly, so you can see exactly where the blade is tracking. Both systems contribute to steadier, more accurate work at the table.
