This 150mm 3-Speed Metal Cutting Bandsaw from Loops is designed for workshops needing precise metal cutting. Its key benefit is versatility with both horizontal and vertical cutting capabilities and an integrated mitering vice for accurate angle cuts. A potential caveat is its 60kg weight, requiring stable placement and consideration for mobility.

At 90°, it can cut round stock up to Ø115mm and square/rectangular stock up to 100 x 150mm. At 45°, the capacity reduces to Ø60mm (round) and 100 x 60mm (square/rectangular).
The bandsaw features 3-speed settings, typically adjusted via a belt and pulley system. Consult the user manual for the specific procedure, which usually involves repositioning the drive belt on different pulley diameters.
It uses a 1638 x 13 x 0.63mm bandsaw blade. Ensure you are using blades specifically designed for cutting metal.
The bandsaw may require some assembly, such as attaching the stand and wheels. Always refer to the provided manual for detailed setup instructions.
Yes, this bandsaw is suitable for cutting various metals, including ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Adjust the blade speed and use appropriate cutting fluid if necessary for optimal results and blade life.
The bandsaw requires a standard 230V power supply.
Use the integral mitering vice with its built-in scale. Ensure the material is securely clamped and align the indicator on the vice with the desired angle (45° to 90°) on the scale before cutting.
Check the power cord connection to the outlet and the machine. Ensure the magnetic no-load voltage switch is engaged correctly. Verify the power source is providing 230V.
Adjust the blade guides to ensure they are properly aligned with the blade. Check blade tension; it should be firm but not overly tight. Ensure the material is securely clamped in the vice.
Ensure the bandsaw is on a stable, level surface. Check that all bolts and components are tightened securely. Verify the blade is sharp and correctly tensioned. Ensure the oil bath gearbox has sufficient lubricant.
Confirm you are using the correct blade size and type for metal cutting. Ensure the blade speed is appropriate for the material being cut. Check blade guide alignment and tension. Avoid forcing the cut.
Clean any metal debris from the vice mechanism and angle scale. Lubricate moving parts of the vice if necessary.
