Sterling Swift 280 Double Mitre Pull Down Bandsaws: Precision and Versatility Redefined
The Sterling Swift 280 Double Mitre Pull Down Bandsaw, available exclusively through Selmach Machinery, is a cutting-edge solution designed to meet the demands of modern fabrication and engineering markets. With its robust construction, advanced features, and ease of use, this versatile bandsaw is the ideal choice for workshops and production facilities that require reliable and efficient cutting of various metals.
Robust Cast Bow Construction for Durability
The Sterling Swift 280 boasts a durable cast bow construction, engineered for long-term reliability and precision. This sturdy design provides excellent stability during operation, minimising vibrations and ensuring clean, accurate cuts every time. The robust frame also enhances the machine’s lifespan, making it a cost-effective investment for businesses that need dependable performance in demanding environments.
Double Mitring for Increased Flexibility
A standout feature of the Sterling Swift 280 is its double mitring capability, allowing mitre cuts of up to 60° in both directions. This flexibility makes the saw ideal for producing angled cuts required in a wide range of fabrication and engineering applications. The ability to adjust the cutting angle quickly and accurately reduces setup time, improving workflow efficiency and enabling operators to handle complex projects with ease.
Variable Speeds for Versatile Cutting
The Sterling Swift 280 offers two distinct speed options depending on the model:
- The 415v version features two fixed cutting speeds, making it perfect for consistent cutting of standard materials.
- The 240v model comes equipped with variable blade speeds, providing the versatility to adjust cutting speeds for different materials and thicknesses.
This adaptability ensures optimal performance when working with both mild steel and stainless steel, making the Sterling Swift 280 a versatile tool for any workshop.
Quick Release Vice for Improved Efficiency
Efficiency is further enhanced by the saw’s quick-release vice, which allows operators to secure and release materials swiftly. This feature significantly reduces downtime between cuts, enabling a smoother workflow and higher productivity. The vice’s design ensures a firm grip on materials, contributing to the saw’s accuracy and preventing movement during operation.
Coolant System for Clean, Precise Cuts
The Sterling Swift 280 is equipped with an integrated coolant system, which plays a vital role in maintaining blade longevity and ensuring precise cuts. The coolant reduces heat generation during cutting, preventing blade wear and ensuring a clean, burr-free finish on materials. This system is especially beneficial when working with stainless steel and other metals prone to heat-related damage, providing consistent results across various applications.
