The CLAUSING MS1318SA is a robust and dependable Semi-Automatic Horizontal Miter Bandsaw manufactured by Clausing Kalamazoo, designed to maximize efficiency and accuracy in production sawing environments. Its primary feature is the semi-automatic functionality, which streamlines the cutting cycle by providing power operation for the vise clamping, head rise, and head lower, automatically shutting the blade off once the cut is complete. This reduces operator fatigue and ensures consistent cycle times.

The machine boasts a substantial cutting capacity, handling 13-inch round material and 11-inch by 17-3-inch rectangular material. The swivel saw head is a key benefit, allowing the operator to accurately make angle cuts from 0 degrees to 60 degrees without needing to physically move the cutting stock. Power is supplied by a 3 HP drive motor equipped with a magnetic starter and overload protection, and the blade speed is variable from 98 to 328 SFPM thanks to an advanced inverter drive speed system. Additional features include an integrated coolant system, carbide blade guides for superior stability and blade life, a powered chip brush to keep the blade clean, and a full-stroke machine vise for secure clamping of all material sizes. The machine is backed by a 2 Year limited warranty.
