Metal Cutting Band Saw, 9 in Round KAKA INDUSTRIAL BS-912B

The KAKA INDUSTRIAL BS-912B is a horizontal metal-cutting band saw engineered for metal fabrication shops and serious workshops handling thick stock. With a straight-cut capacity of up to 9 inches for round material and 7 by 12 inches for rectangular pieces, it accommodates substantial metal profiles without requiring manual feeding.

Operational control is centered around an adjustable hydraulic downfeed cylinder that manages the descent of the saw bow. Power comes from a 1.5 HP (1.1 kW) single-phase motor that connects to either 115V or 230V power. A V-belt drive with two pulley wheels lets you select from four blade speeds (32, 60, 88, and 115 m/min at 60Hz) using a standard 1 x 0.035 x 104-1/2 inch blade.

For angled work, the integrated vise plate rotates up to 45 degrees, providing capacities of 6 inches for round stock and 5 by 6 inches for rectangular pieces. Everyday workshop tasks are supported by an integrated coolant system, adjustable blade guides, a material stop for repetitive cuts, and a built-in handle with wheels to help reposition the machine.

Delivery requires advance planning, as this machine arrives via freight carrier. A scheduled appointment and an adult signature are required upon arrival, and residential locations without a loading dock will need a liftgate service. Angled miter cuts also reduce your maximum cutting dimensions compared to standard 90-degree operations.

Verdict: The BS-912B is a capable addition for fabricators and machinists needing deep cutting capacity, controlled hydraulic feed, and dual-voltage flexibility for heavy metal stock.

• Round Capacity (90°): 9 in
• Rectangular Capacity (90°): 7 x 12 in
• Round Capacity (45°): 6 in
• Rectangular Capacity (45°): 5 x 6 in
• Blade Speeds (60Hz): 32, 60, 88, 115 m/min
• Blade Size: 1 x 0.035 x 104-1/2 in
• Motor: 1.5 HP (1.1 kW), single-phase
• Voltage: 115V / 230V
• Drive Type: V-belt drive with two pulley wheels

A great fit if you:

• Need to cut round metal stock up to 9 inches or rectangular bars up to 7 x 12 inches.
• Want hands-free bow descent controlled by an adjustable hydraulic cylinder.
• Need the versatility of running a machine on either 115V or 230V circuits.
• Make frequent miter cuts up to 45 degrees in your shop.

Consider something else if you:

• Cannot accommodate freight delivery appointments or manage freight offloading.
• Require cutting stock thicker than 6 inches round at a 45-degree angle.

What blade size does this band saw use?
The machine uses a 1 x 0.035 x 104-1/2 inch band saw blade.

Can this saw run on standard household voltage?
Yes, the 1.5 HP single-phase motor supports dual-voltage operation and is wired for both 115V and 230V setups.

What are the cutting capacities at an angle?
With the vise rotated to 45 degrees, the listed capacity is 6 inches for round stock and 5 x 6 inches for rectangular stock.

How is the band saw delivered?
It ships via freight carrier. The carrier will call to schedule a delivery appointment where someone must be present to sign, and a liftgate service is recommended for residential addresses without a loading dock.
