    Belt Drive

    Direct Drive

    Make repeat cuts in pipes, bars, and thick metal sheets. These saws make more precise straight and angled cuts than vertical band saws by cutting from above into a clamped workpiece. For smooth cuts every time, the saw head uses hydraulics to move at a controlled speed. Once the blade reaches your material, the weight of the saw head completes the cut for you. The built-in coolant system prevents overheating, so the blade lasts longer and your workpiece won’t harden or warp. The coolant also keeps the cut area clear of metal shards to stop them from sticking onto the blade.
    Direct Drive—Direct-drive saws send power straight to the blade instead of a belt, which keeps the power and speed steady when cutting thick, hard metals. They also have fewer parts, which means they need less maintenance.
    Automatic Shutoff—Saws with automatic shut-off stop when there's nothing more to cut through to avoid running needlessly or nicking nearby material.
    Blade Tension Detection—Saws with blade tension detection prevent startup if the blade is loose, misaligned, or broken. As a fail-safe, they can also stop mid-cut.
    Cutting Resistance Detection—Saws with cutting resistance detection automatically adjust their speed to protect the blade from bending and the teeth from chipping. The blade slows down for hard materials and speeds up for soft ones. Since you don’t need any tools to access the blade, swapping it out is quick and easy.
