Kalamazoo Machine Tool H6 SA band saw handles structural materials

Kalamazoo Machine Tool model H6 SA band saw is double-column, semiautomatic mitering saw designed for production sawing of structural materials. The saw features a mono-weldment saw frame canted 6 degrees, and it can miter from 0 to 60 degrees. All functions are fully hydraulic, and saw feed controls use precision control valves.

The saw features two vises on the infeed side to ensure the material is clamped securely during feeding and sawing. The material feeder is controlled by a variable-speed inverter drive motor that turns a roller ball screw and ball nut with a large number of recirculating ball bearings. This produces a low coefficient of friction and stabilization in both up/down and left/right directions.
