Its mobility is perfect for moving around the shop or between job sites.
The G0561 7' x 12' 1 HP Metal-Cutting Bandsaw was designed to cut 7' round and 7' X 12' rectangular metal stock. It can cut in either horizontal or vertical positions.
The 93' x 3/4' blade rotates at one of the four blade speeds (90, 135, 195, and 255 FPM). Blade speed adjustments are as easy as moving the location of the V-belt on the motor and wheel pulleys.
The feed rate and feed pressure are also adjustable. For optimal cutting and blade life, you will want to watch the chips that exit the cut and increase or decrease the feed rate according to chip characteristics.
The coolant system helps provide optimum working results and extended longevity of blades. A chip screen is designed to prevent chips and cutoffs from entering the coolant tank.
The quick-release clamping vise securely holds your work piece and adjusts for cuts between 0° and 45°.
Like all Grizzly bandsaws, the G0561 comes with a 1-year warranty which covers parts and assures the unit is free from factory defects. (Consumables are not covered by the warranty.)
The G0561 manual was written by our U.S. based Technical Documentation Department and is packed with useful information. The complete and easy to read manual provides full instructions on how to assemble and maintain your metal-cutting bandsaw.
The Grizzly Customer Service and Technical Support Teams are U.S. based. Parts for the bandsaw may be available online and shipped from the Grizzly parts warehouse in Springfield, MO.
