4" X 6" METAL BANDSAW

The Busy Bee Tools BBMBS46 1 HP 4" x 6" Horizontal/Vertical Metal Cutting Bandsaw delivers versatile metal cutting with three blade speeds, adjustable feed control, 0°–45° mitre cutting, and automatic horizontal shutoff for home workshops, repair shops, and small fabrication projects.

The Busy Bee Tools BBMBS46 Horizontal/Vertical Metal Cutting Bandsaw combines two cutting positions in one machine, making it a practical choice for cutting metal stock to length, preparing angled pieces, and working with flat materials. Powered by a 1 HP motor operating on standard 120V power, this metal cutting bandsaw handles round stock up to 4-1/2" and rectangular stock up to 4" x 6".

In horizontal mode, the handwheel-operated vise secures material while adjustable feed control lets you regulate downward cutting pressure. The mitre vise plate adjusts from 0° to 45° left for angled cuts, while the adjustable stock stop makes repeat-length cutting more convenient. Automatic shutoff stops the motor when the horizontal cutting cycle is complete.

For vertical cutting, raise and secure the saw head and install the included vertical worktable to support flat workpieces. Three selectable blade speeds of 80, 120, and 200 FPM allow you to choose a suitable cutting speed for your material and blade. Complete with a 14 TPI bandsaw blade, stand, and mobility wheels, the BBMBS46 offers flexible metal cutting capability in a compact workshop setup.
