Starrett Company (Athol, MA) features their new multi-purpose Versatix(TM) MP band saw blades with an exclusive tooth design that is ideal for interrupted cutting applications in structural steels, tubes and small solids. The new patent-pending design dissipates heat exceptionally during cutting to substantially minimize tooth breakage and maximize saw blade life. Well suited for manual "pull down" band saw machines where uncontrolled feed rates can easily overload the teeth with a standard blade. Feature triple-tempered M-42 cobalt high speed steel teeth, electron-beam welded to a fatigue-resistant alloy steel backing strip. Versatix blades up to 1 in utilize patented bi-metal unique� technology: an exclusive bonding process that provides stronger, longer-lasting and faster cutting blades. Wide range of sizes and thicknesses, from � in x .035 in (19 mm x .90 mm) to 2-5/8 in x .063 in (67.5 mm x 0.62 mm), in a complete selection of variable, positive-rake pitches from 2-3 to 6-10P. Available in coil lengths including 150 ft for 1 � in and 2 in (45 m for 41 mm and 54.5 mm) sizes and 250 ft for � in to 1 � in (76 m for 19 mm to 34 mm) sizes, and welded-to-length on 2-5/8 in x .063 in (67.5 mm x 0.62 mm) blades.Scotchman Industries Inc. (Philip, SD) presents their hydraulic ironworkers, circular cold saws, band saws and advanced feed systems as The Solutions Preferred by Metal Fabricators, including the new DM-20 Double Miter Band Saw with a 20 in capacity and a large 1 � in blade.

Scotchman is the solution preferred by metal fabricators because of Easy Financing: Easy to buy or lease, on the terms you need, with Scotchman's own in-house financing; Easy Delivery. Your machine ships on time or Scotchman pays the freight. Guaranteed! Easy Operation: More options and accessories keep costs down and productivity and profits up.HEAVY DUTY MITRE SAWS FOR MAXIMUM EFFICIENCYBehringer Saws, Inc. (Morgantown, PA) introduces the Eisele VMS 400H semiautomatic miter circular cold saw for fast and efficient cutting of ferrous and non-ferrous metals. A shock absorbing feature provides smooth cutting of materials on single or multiple cuts. Saw head traverses vertically on square guides. Upper portion of the saw manually rotates for miter cuts while the material is held in place on both sides of the saw blade by a quick-acting pneumatic clamping vise to ensure stability of the work piece and a smooth finish. A variable and hydro-pneumatically controlled saw blade feed controls cut speed into the material. Miter angle range of 45 deg left and 60 deg right; total range of 105 deg. Fixed stops at 45 deg in both directions. Cuts solid rounds to 5.7 in at 45 deg and 5.5 in at 90 deg, squares to 4.7 in x 4.7 in at 45 deg and 90 deg, and rectangles to 5.5 in x 4.7 in (45 deg) and 7.8 in x 4.7 in (90 deg). Can cut at 64/128 or 128/256 sfm with 15.7 in diameter HSS blades. Heavy-duty gear box and twospeed pole changing motor of 2.7 or 3.5 hp cuts through the toughest metals quickly and cleanly. A vertically adjustable protective hood with Plexiglas windows for safe visibility prevents material or fluid dispersal, but allows easy access for quick blade changeovers.Booth 14131Marvel Manufacturing Company, Inc. (Oshkosh, WI) offers the new Marvel 380-APC vertical tilt-frame band saw, with innovations such as Direct Force Sensing Ebctronic Feed for more consistent feed pressure with greater control; Direct Positioning Feedback with the automatic bar feed; new Marvel PC III Control with a full-color touch screen control, graphical part programming, user-friendly interface and memory for 500 iobsand parts stored on removable media. Standard equipment includes 15 in x 20 in cutting capacity with a 1.25 in blade, 60 deg mitering left and right, 48 in double ball screw automatic bar feed with high speed travel for faster cycle times, patent pending Easy Load blade guide design, patent pending quick change column design that easily adjusts from a straight column to a 3 deg cant, linear guides on the automatic bar feed, column feed and guide arm, and an inverter blade speed control with sensorless vector drive.Cosen Saws USA (Charlotte, NC) introduces the C-650MNC automatic miter cutting bandsaw, equipped with a 1 � in blade and full stroke hydraulic vise. The C650MNC has a capacity of 15 in x 25.6 in at 90 deg, 16 in x 16 in at 45 deg, and 16 in x 10 in at 60 deg. The saw stores up to 20 jobs, including quantity and length of cut. The SNC controls automatically shuts down the machine, blade motor, and hydraulics once the programmed number of cuts or out of stock situation is achieved. The saw blade is powered by a 75 hp variable-speed pulley drive with a speed of 80-350 fpm. It can also be powered by an inverter-controlled drive with LED readout with speeds of 66-330 fpm.

Skil 7A flooring saw

Mount Prospect, Ill.-based Skil introduced its 7A flooring saw designed to cut through hardwood, laminate and engineered flooring up to 8-in. wide and three-quarter-in. thick. The Skil Flooring Saw smoothly makes miter cuts from zero to 47 degrees and also quickly transitions to a fixed saw, allowing rip cuts to width. The flooring saw saves time, energy and money by allowing users to make cross, miter and rip cuts with just one tool--right on the floor. The lightweight tool is designed for transport to use at any project location. The saw also detents at zero, 22.5 and 45 degrees, and comes with a die-cast aluminum miter and rip fence and innovative locking system. (skil.com)

Bosch 12-in. Dual Bevel Glide Miter Saw

Farmington Hills, Mich.-based Bosch released a new innovative upgrade to the traditional miter saw sliding mechanism with its new 12-in. Dual Bevel Glide Miter Saw. The new saw introduces a dual-beveled glide arm, which saves up to 12 in. of workspace, allowing the saw to work near walls. The machined cast glide system offers durable precision without constant recalibration. The arm's 12 sealed ball bearings maintain constant smoothness and control without sawdust and dirt getting into the mechanism. The saw features up-front bevel controls, allowing for faster adjustments by eliminating the need to ever reach behind the tool. There is also a one-touch lock/unlock expanding fence. The saw has expanded cutting capacity, up to 14 in. for cross-cut and 6.5 in. for vertical and crow cut capacity. (boschtools.com)

Ryobi 5-in. portable flooring saw

Ryobi has introduced a versatile tool that replaces both table and miter saws for flooring applications at a fraction of the cost. The dust collection system accepts standard 1.25-in. vacuum attachments, allowing users to make the cuts in the same room they are laying the floor. All residual dust is directed away from the user. The sliding head provides maximum cross-cut and miter capacity from -15 degrees to 45 degrees, and the spindle lock provides easy single-wrench blade changes. The saw's tool-less dual-function fence provides accurate rip, cross and miter cuts. The saw is available exclusively at The Home Depot. (ryobitools.com)
