J-7040

JET J-7040 Horizontal Metal Cutting Bandsaw – 10in x 16in, 2 HP

The JET J-7040 is a heavy-duty horizontal metal cutting bandsaw designed for industrial fabrication, machine shops, and production environments requiring higher cutting power and rigidity than mid-range saws. Equipped with a 2 HP motor and a 10 x 16 inch cutting capacity, it delivers strong, consistent performance for cutting steel, stainless steel, aluminum, pipe, tubing, and structural materials.

Compared to lower-powered models like the J-7020, the J-7040 provides greater torque, improved cutting stability, and better performance under load, making it more suitable for continuous or tougher industrial applications.
