Current Status: Functional, but could use work

In December 2015, we acquired a JET horizontal metal-cutting band saw from HGR.

Model Number: HVBS-56M

Blade Size: 1/2” x 0.025” x 64-1/2”

Belt size: A22 V Belt

Currently sitting on a rolling bench, which has been good enough for our use.

Work needed:

• Replace blade - one on it is working for now
• Construct a stand for it and/or temporarily attach to existing bench

• A good cleaning & maintenance wouldn't hurt

Future modifications:

• Acquire/construct parts needed for vertical use? (table, and bracket to hold table in place)
