Professional 5x6 Metal Cutting Bandsaw with Swivel Head
The Grizzly G9742 is a versatile metal cutting bandsaw designed for both small and large fabrication shops. With its innovative swivel head design and robust 1/2 HP motor, this horizontal bandsaw delivers precision cuts on round and rectangular metal stock up to 5 inches by 6 inches.
Why Choose the G9742 Metal Cutting Bandsaw?
Revolutionary Swivel Head Design: What sets the G9742 apart from other metal cutting bandsaws in its class is the swivel head capability. Cut angles from -45 degrees to 60 degrees without changing your vise backing jaw. This innovative feature saves time and increases productivity by eliminating the need to reposition workpieces for angled cuts.
Easy Angle Adjustments: The head swivel features convenient stops at all the right angles, making it quick and easy to set up for common cuts. No more struggling with vise jaw changes just to get a 45 degree cut - simply swivel the head to your desired angle.
Superior Workpiece Support: The rigid vise backing jaw is taller than traditional designs, providing better support for your workpiece during cutting operations. This results in more accurate cuts and improved safety.
Three Blade Speeds: The 1/2 HP motor powers the 64-1/2 inch blade at three different speeds: 80, 120, and 200 feet per minute. This versatility allows you to optimize cutting speed for different materials, from soft aluminum to hard steel.
Hydraulic Feed Control: Precision hydraulic downfeed with adjustable feed rate gives you complete control over cutting speed. The valve lever and feed rate dial on the hydraulic cylinder allow you to fine-tune the cutting action for optimal blade life and cut quality.
Impressive Cutting Capacity
The G9742 metal bandsaw handles a wide range of stock sizes with ease:
At 90 Degrees: Cut round stock up to 5 inches in diameter or rectangular material up to 5 inches by 6 inches.
At 45 Degrees: Handle round stock up to 3-3/4 inches or rectangular material up to 2-15/16 inches by 3-3/4 inches.
At 60 Degrees: Cut round stock up to 1-3/4 inches or rectangular material up to 2-3/16 inches by 1-3/4 inches.
