Jet 413460 Geared Head Bandsaw 1 Hp 8x12 HBS-812G

Product Description

The JET 413460 is a geared head horizontal band saw designed for cutting metal, pipe, and structural stock in industrial and trade shop environments. Sold under the model designation HBS-812G, this unit runs on a 1 HP motor at 1720 RPM and accepts a 3/4 inch by 0.035 inch by 93 inch blade. The heavy cast iron bow head provides rigidity and damping during cuts, reducing blade deflection and improving cut accuracy. The machine arrives prewired for 115 volts single phase and can be converted to 230 volts single phase to suit shop power configurations. Licensed electricians, pipefitters, and fabrication shop technicians are the primary installers and operators of this saw.

The HBS-812G is suited for light industrial fabrication shops, maintenance facilities, and trade contractors who need a floor-standing horizontal band saw for production or jobsite prep cutting. The 8 inch by 12 inch cutting capacity handles round, square, and rectangular stock within those dimensions. At 308 pounds, this is a permanent or semi-permanent shop installation rather than a portable unit. It fits applications where a powered horizontal saw replaces manual hacksawing or cold-saw operations on ferrous and non-ferrous metals.

Key Features

• Geared head design provides consistent blade speed and torque transfer through a gear drive rather than a belt-only system
• 1 HP motor at 1720 RPM delivers sufficient power for repetitive cuts on mild steel and structural sections
• Heavy cast iron bow head reduces vibration and improves cut straightness
• Prewired 115 volts single phase with field-convertible 230 volts single phase option for shop flexibility
• 8 inch by 12 inch cutting capacity accommodates a wide range of bar, tube, and structural stock sizes
• Overall footprint of 43 inches high by 19 inches wide by 51 inches long suits standard shop floor layouts

Compatibility

Designed for use with standard 3/4 inch by 0.035 inch by 93 inch bi-metal or carbon band saw blades compatible with horizontal geared head saws of this frame size.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician familiar with NEC requirements for motor branch circuit wiring, including proper overcurrent protection and grounding for the selected voltage configuration. Before converting from 115 volts to 230 volts, disconnect power at the supply breaker and verify the motor nameplate wiring diagram. The saw must be anchored to a level concrete or heavy-duty flooring surface to prevent movement during operation. Do not operate with blade guides loose or blade tension outside the manufacturer-specified range.
