JET VBS-2012VS-DC 20" Vertical Metal Bandsaw
Are you losing time switching between fixed-speed machines that can't handle the range of metals in your shop?
What if you could dial in the exact blade speed for every material and cut without stopping to change pulleys or swap machines?
Meet the JET VBS-2012VS-DC 20" Vertical Metal Bandsaw, a continuously variable speed metal bandsaw built for serious production cutting and demanding shop environments.
With the VBS-2012VS-DC, you get a brushless DC motor, a 20" throat, and a speed range that covers the full span of common metals from soft aluminum to tough steel.
When you run a machine that keeps up with the variety of your work, you spend more time cutting and less time troubleshooting your setup.
JET VBS-2012VS-DC for Precise Variable Speed Metal Cutting
Brushless DC Motor Delivers Consistent Torque Across All Speeds
The 2 HP brushless DC motor holds its torque through the full speed range, from 90 SFPM up to 2,300 SFPM. This means the blade doesn't bog down when you slow the speed for thick steel or harder alloys. Brushless construction also reduces maintenance and runs with greater energy efficiency than comparable brush-type motors.
Continuous Variable Speed Control Matches Blade Speed to Material
The infinitely variable speed control lets you set the exact SFPM for the material and blade you are running. You are not locked into preset steps. Whether you are cutting mild steel, aluminum, or tubing, you can fine-tune the speed to protect your blade and get a cleaner cut.
20" Throat Capacity and Large Table Handle Full-Size Workpieces
The 20" throat gives you room to move large plate, wide stock, and oversized sections through the cut without fighting the frame. The 21.65" x 23.62" cast table tilts 45° right and 15° left for angled cuts and provides a stable surface for heavy workpieces. Table height is set at 38.58" for comfortable standing operation.
Blade Safety Systems Protect the Operator and the Blade
Blade breakage sensors and door safety latch sensors stop the machine if a blade fails or a guard is opened during operation. Full blade guards keep the running blade enclosed except at the cutting zone. An internal chip blower clears debris from the cut line, and integrated LED lighting keeps the work area visible throughout the cut.
