Scotchman Industries Inc. has introduced their largest band saw to the market. The NEW SHA 2131 Band Saw will enhance their line of Metal Fabricating Solutions. This Band Saw's capacity is a large 21" x 31" at 90 degrees and 21" x 14" at 60 degrees. It is a simple-to-use automatic band saw that combines mitering capability with an automatic barfeed system. The barfeed utilizes an automatic shuttle-vise feed system that handles up to 60 inches in a single stroke.
This machine comes with a touch screen work station with standard Programmable Logic Control. This allows the operator to program the job, including both piece length and piece count. The PLC takes into consideration the multiple indexes and blade kerf making it extremely easy to set lengths. The full stroke vising and optional bundling attachments can bundle up to the full capacity.

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).
