An innovative design makes the 9-inch Zip-Miter horizontal bandsaw from Palmgren suitable for cutting straight or miter cuts on ferrous and nonferrous metal. It has been designed from the blade out to provide the same cutting accuracy as a cold saw.
The band saw features an advanced direct drive gear box and motor to maximize the power of the motor to the blade and reduce vibration. The gearbox uses a bronze worm gear and harden and ground worm shaft in an oil bath to provide a smooth, quiet drive train and positive surface-feet-per-minute at the blade.

sawing machine ( saw)
Machine designed to use a serrated-tooth blade to cut metal or other material. Comes in a wide variety of styles but takes one of four basic forms: hacksaw (a simple, rugged machine that uses a reciprocating motion to part metal or other material); cold or circular saw (powers a circular blade that cuts structural materials); bandsaw (runs an endless band; the two basic types are cutoff and contour band machines, which cut intricate contours and shapes); and abrasive cutoff saw (similar in appearance to the cold saw, but uses an abrasive disc that rotates at high speeds rather than a blade with serrated teeth).
