HAFCO BP-255 - Wood Band Saw
Overview
This bandsaw has a welded steel frame designed to keep your machine from twisting whilst cutting at 245 x 145mm capacity. It has a generously 360 x 320mm cast iron table with an aluminium rip fence and mitre guide to help you cut straight or angles to the required size. The table mounting trunnions are adjustable to get your tale to tilt from 90 to 45 degrees and has a quick action locking lever. This machine also has its own LED light that is mounted to a flexible arm so the light can be adjusted direct on the cutting line no matter what timber size you are cutting.
The BP-255 bandsaw though small in structure but quality is still evident as it includes ball bearing blade guides to ensure smooth blade rotation & accuracy. These provide optimum blade support and are almost impossible to wear out. Once set-up, they stay set unless you change the width of the blade. For your convenience, a rack and pinion system adjusts the upper blade guide height to suit your timber.
The dust extraction port located at rear of machine will remove most of your internal dust once connect to your dust extractor; and whatever the extractor does not collect the removable tray built into the stand will collect the rest. The 2-speed pulley system rotates at 400 or 800m/min and his driven by a nicely matched 375W / 0.5hp 240V motor
