Marvel 8 Mark II vertical band saw is used for precise and efficient metal cutting. It is ideal for metalworking applications, where it plays a crucial role in cutting, shaping and fabricating metal materials.
Working Mechanism:
- Marvel 8 Mark II vertical band saw operates by utilising a continuous looped blade with teeth designed for cutting through various materials, such as metal. The blade is kept taut through a tensioning mechanism to prevent deflection during cutting. Workpieces are securely clamped to the T-slotted work table, ensuring stability during the cutting process.
- As the blade rotates in a vertical plane, it makes contact with the material and cuts through it accurately and cleanly.
- To maintain efficiency, a flushing hose and power chip brush work together to remove chips and debris generated during cutting. The quick action vice securely holds the workpiece, allowing for precise adjustments to accommodate different material sizes and angles, while the adjustable column enables miter cuts as needed.
Features:
- Marvel Series 8 Mark II vertical band saw unit has a front-mounted speed control, allowing operators to adjust the blade speed conveniently from the control station for precise cutting.
- It comes with a T-slotted work table for secure workpiece clamping and positioning.
- This Marvel band saw offers a 0 to 3 degree canted column, allowing for angular adjustments to meet specific cutting needs.
- It is equipped with miter cutting capability, making it ideal for creating bevels and angled cuts.
- This vertical band saw includes a flushing hose, reducing the need for extensive cleanup.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. What is the difference between a vertical and horizontal bandsaw?
A. Horizontal bandsaws feature a higher cutting rate than vertical bandsaws. Horizontal bandsaws offer optimal squareness by cutting straight cuts, whereas the vertical bandsaws provide flexibility to easily cut out curvy shapes when needed. Horizontal bandsaws generally cut bigger pieces of harder metal, while the vertical bandsaws are used to cut angles & miters in softer metals.
Q. How do I adjust the blade speed on this Marvel Series 8 Mark II band saw?
A. The blade speed can be adjusted from the operator's control station using the front-mounted speed control.
Q. What maintenance is required for this band saw?
A. Regular maintenance includes blade inspection, tension adjustment and keeping the machine clean.
