This 4" x 6" capacity horizontal / vertical band saw has automatic shutoff at the end of the cut when in the horizontal position. The saw is floor standing on the included stand.

The vertical position allows for freehand cutting of large, thin work pieces.

In the horizontal position the vise can be set from 0 to 45 degrees for angle cuts. The saw has adjustable down pressure and automatic shutoff for unattended operation. There is a work stop for repetitive cuts at the same dimension.

Chris' Tips

Chris' Tips
Our 4x6 band saw has three speeds. Use low speed for high strength steel, stainless steel, and other harder materials. Use the medium steel for mild steel including structrual shapes. Use high speed for aluminum and other non-ferrous metals. High speed works well for wood and plastic, too.structural

Learn about Selecting and Using Band Saw Blades.

I found a great rule of thumb in Cutting Tool Engineering for selecting the correct band saw blade. It's the rule of 3, 6, 12, 24. You want at least three teeth on the work all the time, you don't want more than 24 teeth on the work at any one time, and what you would like is between 6 and 12 teeth on the work all the time.

Shipping

These machines ship by freight truck because they are simply too heavy and bulky for UPS Parcel Service. If your location will be difficult for larger truck/Semi-trailer, please let us know.

We normally ship truck orders a day or two after we receive the order. For local orders transportation usually takes no more than a day or two. For orders going across county or over water the transportation time can be up to a week or longer.

We add the following shipping cost to your order total:

We ship machines only to the US and Canada.

Destination	*Local	Continental US
Freight Terminal (pick-up) Within 50 miles / 1 hour of travel Note: Not all terminals allow pickup	$99	$179
Commercial Address (inc. Limited Access Sites) Set hours / No delivery appointment Includes limited access (e.g. Schools, Military, Gov. Bldgs) DOES NOT include liftgage service**	$99	$199
**Liftgate: Add liftgate if forklift or loading dock is not available onsite.		+ $50
Residential Address Includes delivery appointment and liftgage for ALL Residential businesses or limited access facilities (e.g. schools) requiring appointment or liftgage	$99	$249

*Local refers to the parts of Southern California served by Hollywood Delivery Service.

**Liftgate service is included in local delivery and residential delivery. A loading dock or forklift is assumed in commercial deliveries. If these are not available, please add this extra service.

Additional Notes

Contact and delivery. Ensure you choose the correct type of delivery, have a dedicated contact person/number, and are ready on day of delivery. Freight companies charge an additional fee if delivery exceeds 30 minutes.
Only one shipping charge for entire pallet (up to 700 pounds total). The shipping charges shown above cover the cost of shipping the machine and anything else that you purchase with it, including a second machine, stand, tooling, and accessories.
A "commercial address" has a sign with company name, a public entrance and posted hours of operation. If you are running a business at your residence without a public entrance and posted company name and hours of operation it is considered a residence and a not commercial address.
A "limited access" designation is required for "Secured Locations" (schools, colleges, universities, university hospitals, military bases, government facilities, etc). Please provide accurate details on delivery in special instructions.
"Terminal Pickup" allows for pickup at local terminal. If there is not a terminal within 50 miles (or 1 hour), we will confirm with you that you still want Terminal Pickup. Terminals tend to be near highways (usually miltiple intersecting) and industrial centers. Only certain terminals allow pick-up.
"Residential delivery" does not include moving machine into home/garage/workshop or any setup. Delivery is to start of driveway on the street that the delivery truck can access. (See inside delivery below.)

For delivery to Alaska, Hawaii, or Puerto Rico

We will check with several trucking companies to get the best price and then call for your approval before we ship.

Canadian Shipments

Truck Freight shipping to Canada involves 3 distinct charges in addition to the product costs. (All amounts are in US Dollars, see the current mid-market exchange rate.)

Canadian Provincial Taxes (GST, PST, HST) depending on which province the shipment is going to. This will be 5% - 15% added to total sales amount depending on province (Canadian Sales Tax).
Hemisphere Customs Brokerage which handles all customs clearance requirements. This is a flat fee of $108 on any shipment.
Truck Freight from Southern California to destination in Canada. This is generally $300-$500 for residential liftgate delivery and appointment for single machine + tooling orders. Delivery to a terminal for pick-up or a commercial location with loading capabilities can reduce this cost substantially.

Inside Delivery

For many years we have offered INSIDE DELIVERY for an added charge (as set by freight carriers). Unfortunately, most carriers have stopped this practice for liability, cost, or other reasons and we can no longer reliably offer it. If you really need Inside Delivery, please give us a call and we can try to help with your specific situation. Our recommendation however has always been to call some friends or find someone local. Saves some money and lets you meet the neighbors....

Alternatively, companies like Navis Pack & Ship (www.gonavis.com) or similar may be able to help you pack up a machine, or move it into your home/shop.
