Introducing the New V120 Saw 
A Band Saw for the 21st Century


1996 V120HA Shown

Pryor, Oklahoma

Performance, productivity, and cost savings are just some of the values we expect from the tools that will carry us into the 21st Century.  It is with this in mind that we introduce the all-hydraulic V120, automatic or manual, vertical band saw.  This easy-to-use vertical band saw with large capacity and miter-cutting capability offers a range of capabilities and options.

The V120 saws feature a 7½ horsepower band motor, an even moor rugged gearbox, 20” band wheels and a hefty saw base.  The arm carriage rides on precision ball and linear bearings and allows for a balanced arm that is easy to tilt to any angle from 45° in either direction and is located behind the cutting area, away from chips and coolant contamination.  Because the carriage bearings are located behind the actual cutting zone, cutting is smoother and more accurate than ever before in a tilt-frame band saw.

The heart of the 7½ horsepower drive system is a sealed band motor that is placed high in the arm next to the rugged gearbox.  This placement keeps the power system away from coolant, chips, and debris and also makes for ease of maintenance.

The saw base has a linear bearing rear track rail for smoother, more efficient cutting.  The saw base is fabricated and welded into a solid                

and stable platform for the arm carriage.  The base also has a built-in coolant reservoir that makes replenishing or cleaning a breeze.

Optional is the unique chip conveyor system (manual or powered) that quickly sweeps chips out of the saw pan.  The conveyor allows chips to drain until they are swept into dual chip containers on either side of the saw base.  This system keeps coolant costs to a minimum because chips can be properly drained before disposal or recycling.

With a capacity of 18 inches by 24 inches when vertical, and 18 by 16 inches when tilted to 45° (on the left side) and 14¾ inches (on the right side), the V120 saws pack more power and versatility than any competitor. Options available on the new V120HA include the Cut Watcher system, second main machine vise, and full capacity top clamps (main swing away and feed vise).

The Computer Controlled Feed System, which allows up to 99 different jobs with varying lengths and quantities to be entered for automatic production, is standard on the automatic models.  Cut after cut, year after year, nothing lasts longer or cuts straighter than a band saw blade that is aligned with carbide guides.  Practically maintenance-free, HE&M Saw’s precision ground carbide blade guides hold the blade in perfect alignment.  Table options include idle or powered tables in lengths of five and ten feet.

The versatility of this new saw model combined with HE&M Saw’s reputation for cutting accuracy, reliability, and low cost maintenance should make this a popular band saw for companies who are gearing up for the 21st Century.
