13″ EVS Semiautomatic Dual-Mitering Bandsaw
The new JET 13" EVS semiautomatic dual-mitering bandsaw saves time and boosts shop productivity with its unique, swiveling head that miters 45° right and 60° left for quick angle cuts without repositioning the workpiece. A frequency inverter, also exclusive to this EVS saw, provides a full range of blade speeds from 50 to 297 rpm.
Full productivity and profitability, only with process optimization
Without a fully optimized manufacturing process, individual machines and entire manufacturing operations fall short of their full productivity and cost-effectiveness potentials. To avoid this fate, shops should take advantage of engineering and process optimization support services typically offered by those well-equipped and truly capable manufacturing equipment suppliers.
