Grizzly Industrial 17" 2 HP Metal/Wood Bandsaw w/Inverter Motor

Cut wood or metal with this 2 HP 17' variable-speed combination bandsaw.

We’ve taken all the best features from our vertical wood-cutting bandsaws and added a variable blade speed control with two speed ranges. This allows the G0640X bandsaw to operate between 100–3600 FPM and double as a metal-cutting bandsaw with the power and cutting capacity to tackle just about anything!

The G0640X features a Delta VFD-M inverter which gives you 3-phase, variable-speed power while operating on standard single-phase power source. The VFD saves you money by increasing the efficiency of the motor and decreasing electricity use. It reduces wear and tear on the motor which extends the life of the bandsaw.

The blade tracking and tensioning systems are easy to use. Blade tracking is primarily controlled by adjusting the upper wheel tilt. Engage the tension lever and turn the tension handwheel to adjust blade tensioning. Release the tension lever to relieve the tension on the tires when not in use. A wood-cutting blade comes installed and a metal-cutting blade is included.

The G0640X has a large 23-5/8' x 17-1/4' table that can tilt from 5° left to 45° right. A cast-iron fence with extruded-aluminum rail and resaw fence attachment mount to the table.

You will find many other features that have made Grizzly bandsaws so popular with our customers such as the rack-and-pinion upper guide adjustment, cast-iron trunnion and cast-iron wheels.

The Grizzly G0640X Metal/Wood Bandsaw is covered by a one-year warranty that covers replacement parts and guards against factory defects. The G0640X is supported by a US-based product support team and replacement parts are available online and ship from our massive Parts Department in Springfield Missouri.
