JET VBS-18MWEVS 18" Metal/Wood Vertical Bandsaw
Are you switching between wood and metal cuts and losing time changing machines or fighting a saw that was never built for both?
What if one bandsaw could handle hardwood resawing and steel cutting on the same shop floor without compromise?
Meet the JET VBS-18MWEVS 18" Metal/Wood Vertical Bandsaw, a dual-purpose vertical bandsaw built for fabricators and machinists who need accurate cuts across wood, metal, and mixed materials.
With the VBS-18MWEVS, you get an Electronic Variable Speed system that dials blade speed from 100 to 3,600 SFPM, so the saw matches the material rather than forcing the material to match the saw.
When your shop demands clean results on a wide range of stock, this machine keeps up without slowing your workflow.
JET VBS-18MWEVS for Metal, Wood, and Mixed-Material Cutting
Electronic Variable Speed Matches Blade Speed to Every Material
The EVS inverter adjusts cutting speed from 100 to 3,600 SFPM without stopping the machine. Metal cuts run at low speed for clean edges and controlled heat. Wood cuts run at high speed for fast, smooth results. You stay at the machine and adjust on the fly instead of swapping blades or tools between jobs.
Cast Iron Wheels Sustain Blade Momentum Through the Cut
The fully balanced cast iron wheels with rubber tires carry blade momentum through dense stock and material changes. The mass of the wheels smooths out the load so blade speed stays consistent, which keeps cuts cleaner and reduces strain on the blade. Rubber tires protect the blade weld and extend blade life.
Rack and Pinion Upper Guide Adjustment Speeds Setup
The rack and pinion adjustment on the upper blade guide support moves the guide quickly and holds position without drift. You can set blade support close to the workpiece in seconds, which reduces blade deflection and improves cut accuracy. Less time spent adjusting means more time cutting.
Precision Ground Table Supports Accurate Crosscuts and Miters
The precision ground cast iron table measures 27-1/4 x 20 inches and tilts 45 degrees to the right and 5 degrees to the left. The flat, ground surface gives consistent workpiece support across the full table area. The 3/4 x 3/8-inch miter gauge groove accepts standard accessories for repeatable angled cuts.
