The KT1018W from Clausing’s Kalamazoo line is a rugged and reliable manual horizontal bandsaw designed for general-purpose metalworking and fabrication. With a generous maximum rectangular capacity of 18 inches by 6 inches or 10 inches by 16 inches and a 10 inch maximum round capacity at 90 degrees, this saw handles a wide range of stock sizes.

The machine is powered by a durable 2 HP drive motor wired for 230v or 460v three-phase power, which provides a more stable flow of voltage and greater horsepower for heavy cuts. Blade speed is easily controlled using a 4-speed step pulley drive, offering 60, 125, 200, and 300 FPM options to optimize cutting for different materials. The saw head is fed smoothly into the material by a valve-controlled hydraulic cylinder, which allows the operator to easily adjust the downfeed rate for various types and sizes of stock. Key features for precision and longevity include solid carbide blade guides with rollers for accurate cutting, a recirculating coolant system for wet cutting, and a quick positioning 45-degree vise for miter cuts. The machine has a net weight of 685 lbs and is backed by a Two Year Limited Warranty.
