250 x 420mm Metal Cutting Manual Horizontal Scissor Type Band Saw Machine
MH-1018JA
Metal cutting band saw
A practical saw built for workshops, schools, and field repair work
The MH-1018JA is widely used across technical schools, small fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and on-site repair teams.
Compared to smaller entry-level saws, the MH-1018JA offers more flexibility, larger cutting capacity, and a +45° rotating vise—a feature that gives operators far more freedom when handling different cutting tasks.
Whether it’s classroom training, daily shop work, or quick repairs on small projects, this saw fits naturally into a wide range of environments.
Stable performance and simple operation for fast, reliable cutting
This machine isn’t designed for high-volume industrial production.
Its real purpose is to be:
“The saw you can rely on every day, for any small to medium cutting task.”
To make the cutting experience smoother, the design focuses on:
Increased rigidity in the saw bow for stable cuts
Smooth travel that helps prevent vibration or blade deviation
An intuitive control layout that new operators quickly understand
This makes the MH-1018JA ideal as a “general-purpose workshop saw.”
Designed so both students and technicians can operate with confidence
In technical schools, instructors often mention:
“The MH-1018JA is straightforward for students—once they see the process, they can handle the cutting themselves.”
The same applies to small shops and maintenance teams:
Different operators, different materials, yet the saw remains consistently stable.
The +45° vise rotation is especially valued for repair work, frame adjustments, and small fabrication tasks—allowing angled cuts without additional tools or setups.
Why users continue to choose the MH-1018JA
Stable cutting performance for both small and mid-size materials
Beginner-friendly and easy to operate
Rotating vise for greater versatility
Durable structure suited for daily workshop tasks
Backed by 50 years of sawing engineering experience
The MH-1018JA stands out for one reason—practicality.
It consistently delivers dependable results in environments where tasks change daily, making it one of the most frequently used saws in schools and small fabrication shops.
