Horizontal Band Saw
Horizontal band saws typically feature a hydraulic or mechanical feed system to control how quickly the blade descends onto the material.
Manual Feed: The operator manually adjusts the rate at which the blade cuts into the material.
Automatic Feed: The machine automatically adjusts the feed rate based on pre-set parameters, providing a more consistent and efficient cut.
Cutting Width: The maximum width of the material that can be cut (usually measured as the distance from the blade to the machine frame).
Cutting Height: The maximum height of the material that can be processed (typically the height of the material placed in the saw’s bed).
Depth of Cut: The maximum thickness of material that the saw can cut through in one pass.

Features
- Primary Feature: The saw blade moves horizontally across the material, making a cutting motion from left to right.
- Functionality: Material is typically placed on a fixed bed, and the blade moves downward into the material, creating clean, straight cuts.
- Advantage: Horizontal band saws are ideal for cutting long or thick workpieces, as the horizontal cutting action provides more stability and accuracy.
