JET 7" x 12" Deluxe Horizontal/Vertical Metal Band Saw, Quick-Lock Vise

This 7-inch by 12-inch metal band saw provides a flexible cutting station for workshops handling varied metalworking tasks. By supporting both horizontal cutoff work and upright vertical sawing, it eliminates the need to maintain separate machines for different slicing operations.

Material handling is streamlined thanks to a large 9-inch by 12-inch infeed table assembly that provides expanded support in either cutting position. Securing stock is straightforward with a toolless quick-lock vise featuring preset mitering angles at 15, 30, and 45 degrees. The drive mechanism relies on flanged cast iron blade wheels for structural durability, while an integrated coolant system inside the base actively assists cutting efficiency and blade life.

The unit sits on a stand engineered with an improved height and width profile, housing a chip tray and a built-in storage cabinet for extra tooling. Mobility is managed through four 8-inch rubber wheels, allowing you to reposition the machine despite its substantial metal construction. The entire build complies with electrical standards under CSA/CUS certification.

Because the unit combines an expansive stand with a generous infeed table, it requires sufficient floor clearance to operate effectively. In addition, the vise features specific preset mitering angles at 15, 30, and 45 degrees, so users needing unlisted intermediate angles will need to adjust manually without a dedicated stop.

Verdict: This band saw is a reliable choice for fabricators and metalworkers who need a versatile, mobile cutting tool. Its built-in coolant system, dual-orientation design, and integrated storage make it well suited for production-ready metal cutting.

• Cutting Capacity: 7" x 12"
• Infeed Table Dimensions: 9" x 12"
• Wheel Diameter: 8-inch rubber wheels (4 total)
• Blade Wheels Material: Flanged cast iron
• Miter Positions: 15, 30, and 45 degrees
• Certifications: CSA/CUS certified

A great fit if you:

• Need both horizontal stock cutoff and vertical metal contour cutting in one machine
• Want built-in coolant delivery to help maintain blade life during cuts
• Require a mobile machine that can be rolled around the shop on large rubber wheels
• Value built-in stand storage and integrated chip collection

Consider something else if you:

• Have a very cramped shop that cannot fit a large standalone floor base
• Only make simple straight cuts and do not need vertical table functionality

Can the infeed table be used when cutting vertically?
Yes, the 9-inch by 12-inch infeed table assembly is designed to extend the support area in both horizontal and vertical operating positions.

What miter angles are built into the vise?
The toolless quick-lock vise features preset mitering positions at 15, 30, and 45 degrees.

Does the saw include a coolant mechanism?
Yes, the base houses an integrated coolant system designed to increase cutting efficiency and prolong blade life.
