The BS-5 is the original design for this economically priced metal cutting band saw with a robust four-legged stand cross braced with two leg supports and built-in mitre cutting capability. The ball bearing guided blade can be driven at a choice of three speeds via a reduction gearbox, depending on the type of material being cut and there is an automatic cut-off, adjustable for height, for stopping the motor when the cut is complete.

One notable feature on this saw is it supplied with a additional work table enabling the operator to use this machine in a vertical operation, ideal for maintenance shops, light steel fabrications, and engineering workshops. A well priced and very effective machine for cutting steel bars, angles, channels, tubes and so on.
