W.F. WELLS F-16-2A HORIZONTAL BAND SAW

Technical Description

The W.F. Wells F-16-2A Horizontal Band Saw is engineered for precision and efficiency, featuring a cutting capacity of 16” x 17” and a robust saw bed weight capacity of 5,000 lbs. Designed to handle heavy-duty applications, the bar feed supports up to 9,000 lbs. The saw operates at variable blade speeds ranging from 60 to 425 SPM, utilizing a 1.25” x .042” x 15’ blade, guided by durable carbide guides with backup rollers for enhanced stability. The hydraulic blade tension system ensures optimal performance, while the 20” diameter bandwheel contributes to smooth operation. The hydraulic vise allows for secure clamping, and the sawing pressure can be adjusted between 0-300 lbs. Powered by a 7.5 HP blade drive motor and a 2 HP hydraulic drive motor, this machine is designed for efficiency. The work height of 35” provides ergonomic access, and the coolant system has a capacity of 10 gallons to maintain blade performance. With a hydraulic capacity of 20 gallons, the machine supports extensive operations. The barfeed projection ranges from .125” to 24” per stroke, with length calibration accurate to .001” and projection accuracy of +/- .005” per shuttle. Measuring 93” x 97” x 85” in height and weighing 3,650 lbs. for shipping, the F-16-2A is a robust solution for demanding cutting tasks in industrial environments.
