The CLAUSING KALAMAZOO MS1218VS is a robust and dependable Semi-Automatic Horizontal Miter Bandsaw built for efficient metal fabrication. Its semi-automatic functionality streamlines the cutting process by allowing for power vise clamping, automatic head rise and lower, and automatic shut-off once the cut is complete. This automation enhances operator efficiency and promotes consistent results.

A standout feature is the saw’s ability to perform 0-degree to 45-degree miter cuts by swiveling the saw head and bed, eliminating the need to re-position heavy or long material. The machine offers substantial capacity, handling up to 12 inches round and 10 inches by 16 inches rectangular stock. Power is supplied by a 2 HP main drive motor with magnetic starter and overload protection, utilizing a 3-phase connection for stable voltage flow and greater horsepower. Blade speed is fully adjustable via a variable speed sheave pulley drive, offering a range of 80 to 360 SFPM to optimize cuts across different materials. Precision and longevity are ensured by the use of solid carbide blade guides with rollers, and a standard re-circulating coolant system applies fluid through both guides to extend blade life and improve cut quality. The MS1218VS is built on a durable cast iron bed and includes a two-year limited warranty.
