Band Saws

The patented NG range of band saws from FEMI, Italy, offers a 40% to 60% higher cutting capability than traditional band saws. The rotation of the blade in the NG range is opposite to that of conventional band saws so the chips do not clog the cutting area and increase the cutting speed and also the life of the blade. The band saws are available from small portable machines to standalone machines with cutting capability up to dia 230 mm. The Femi 784 is an easily portable mitering band saw. The saw miters one-way up to 45°. The cutting capacities are: 100 x 100 mm square @ 90°, 75 x 75 mm square @ 45°, 102 mm round @ 90° and 85 mm round @ 45°. The 784 uses a 1440 x 13 x 0.65 mm blade driven by a powerful 1100 W universal motor. A digital electronic speed regulator is fitted on the motor for selection of correct speed. The blade is easily accessed for quick blade changing and has simplified blade tensioning to ensure correct blade tension. The blade guide is adjustable, creating more tension in the blade, ensuring straighter cuts. Vising is manual with a die cast aluminium vice with prismatic guides and easily adjusts to clamp material, holding the work piece securely during the cut. The saw has a manual pull-down and head lift. An adjustable bar stop saves time and money; parts can be cut to the same length repeatedly without constantly having to re-measure. Portability is a huge benefit of the 784, making this saw ideal for workshops and smaller jobs in any production shop. It weighs only 17 kg and uses standard 230 V, 50 Hz single phase connection. In addition, the 782 does not require coolant for lubrication. The company is represented in India by Pioneer Intertrade.
