The IMET BS 350 is a powerful horizontal pivot bandsaw designed for high-performance cutting in demanding industrial workshops and production environments. As a professional 12-Inch Mitering Bandsaw, it offers a capacity of 12.01 in (305 mm) round and 13.78 in (350 mm) rectangular. The machine is built on a heavy-duty steel chassis and is available in multiple configurations to provide exactly the miter versatility and automation your workflow requires.

General

VERSIONS AVAILABLE

  • PLUS (Double Miter): Upgrades the machine with a rotating worktable for Double-Miter capability, allowing angle cuts up to 45° Right and 60° Left. Standard versions without "PLUS" are limited to Single-Miter (60° Left).
  • GH (Autocut): Adds a Gravity Hydraulic system with a 3-way selector (Manual, Rapid Approach, or Autocut). In Autocut mode, the saw executes the cut autonomously with a hydraulically regulated feed rate and stops automatically at the end of the stroke.
  • SHI (Semi-Automatic): Features a full Semi-Automatic Hydraulic cycle. This version uses an integrated hydraulic unit to actuate the material clamping, control the blade descent, and automatically lift the saw head back to the starting position.

Features

  • Reinforced Structure: Features a heavy-duty steel saw frame with a closed tubular section and large 11.81 in (300 mm)pulleys to reduce blade stress and prevent vibration during heavy cuts.
  • Ultra-High Blade Tension: Maintains a superior tension of 28,445 PSI (2000 kgf/cm2), ensuring maximum precision and straightness when cutting large solids or bundles.
  • Rotating Worktable: Equipped with a wide 18.11 in (460 mm) diameter rotating table integral with the saw frame, preventing incision damage to the table surface during angle changes.
  • Precision Guidance: High-precision blade guides utilize carbide inserts and additional side bearings for perfect blade alignment.
  • Vise Clamping: Features a manual quick-clamping vise (GH/Manual) or a hydraulically actuated vise (SHI) on adjustable guides with rapid transverse sliding.
  • Blade Maintenance: Includes a motorized blade cleaning brush with nylon inserts as standard equipment to keep the blade clear of chips.
