VW-18-2 VERTICAL BAND SAW
Product Details
Introducing the upgraded VW-18-2, an evolution from the VW-18 machine with notable enhancements:
Repositioned Datum: Following the successful design of the V18, we’ve relocated the datum to the back for improved efficiency.
Enhanced Head Rigidity: We’ve reinforced the head to ensure increased rigidity, providing enhanced stability during cutting operations for superior performance.
Upgraded Vise Rigidity: Our commitment to excellence extends to the vises, where we’ve implemented improvements to boost rigidity. This enhancement contributes to a more robust and reliable overall system.
Powered Hydraulic Guide Arm: The VW-18-2 now features a powered hydraulic guide arm, adding a new dimension to precision and control during cutting processes. This innovative addition elevates the machine’s capabilities, offering a seamless and efficient operation.
The VW-18-2 stands out as a semi-automatic, vertical band saw, setting new standards with its mitering capability ranging from 60° left to 60° right. Boasting a generous 22″H x 18″W cutting capacity, a robust 5 HP motor, and a 1 1/4″ blade, this machine is your trusted companion for a wide range of light to medium-duty, vertical metal cutting applications.
Featuring a semi-automatic control that can be conveniently positioned on either side of the saw, the VW-18-2 combines precision with ease of operation for enhanced performance in your metalworking tasks.

Two Full Stroking Hydraulic Vises
Securing the material with hydraulic pressure results in better blade life, increased operator safety and a decreased risk of the material moving during the cut. Keeping the material secure reduces the chance of stripping the teeth on the saw blade.
On-Demand Hydraulics
Reduces power consumption and results in less noise. It’s better for the environment with reduced ware on hydraulic components.
Manual Head Positioning
Located on the control panel, the VW-18 angle can be set via use of the protractor and confirmed with digital angle display on the control panel.
Direct Down Feed (DDF)
Allows the operator to control both feed rate and feed force, for more efficient cutting.
