16-Inch Variable-Speed Vertical Band Saw (VBS-1610/1610E)

The FUHO VBS-1610 is a 16-inch variable-speed vertical band saw designed for precise straight, curved, and contour cutting. Its mechanically controlled variable-speed pulleys and high/low gearbox provide blade speeds from 20 to 1,200 m/min, depending on electrical frequency, for cutting metals and selected non-metal materials.

Powered by a 2 HP motor, the machine provides a 16-inch throat capacity and 10-inch work height. Choose the VBS-1610 with a stationary table or the VBS-1610E with an electric-feed table. Standard features include a speed indicator, integrated blade welder, grinder and shear, work light, universal blade guide, rip fence, and blade-tension indicator. Made in Taiwan, with CE configurations available upon request.

Glossary

MAIN BODY: HEAVY-DUTY BANDSAW WITH PROVEN DESIGN
Extremely stable construction, entire machine base made of heavy gauge steel, providing a rigid and solid foundation, reducing vibration while cutting at high speeds

BLADE WELDER: A MUST-HAVE DEVICE IN EVERY MACHINE SHOP AND MAINTENANCE STORE
An integrated blade welder equipped with annealing, cutting and grinding devices can easily cut blades into required length, which makes a big saving on the blade costs. Blades can also be broken and re-welded for internal cutting.

BLADE TENSION: USER-FRIENDLY DESIGN
Regardless of the blades’ width, the user-friendly blade tension indicator assures fast, easy and accurate settings.

TRANSMISSION: VARIABLE SPEEDS PROVIDE HIGH-EFFICIENCY CUTTING
Exclusive design on adjustable blade speeds allows a variety of cutting applications.

BLADE GUIDES: UNIVERSAL TYPE FOR A FULL RANGE OF BLADES
Universal V-type blade guides with guide supports, adjustable for a full range of blades from 3-25 mm (0.125” to 1”)

BLADE WHEELS: BALANCED RUBBER-COATED WHEELS ASSURE LONG-TERM USE
Balanced wheels coated with rubber tires protect not only the blades’ teeth but also assure long-term use running at all speeds.

TABLE: MULTI-TILTING CAST IRON TABLE REDUCES VIBRATION FROM CUTTING AT HIGH SPEEDS
The multi-tilting worktable constructed with cast iron can handle large production pieces and reduce cutting vibrations. VBS-2013 and above models are equipped with T slots, while E models with the genius design of FUHO electric power table, which makes the maintenance so easy that the user requires no extra care on the table.

INVERTER + BRAKE: HIGH-EFFICIENCY CUTTING WITH EASIER AND SAFER OPERATION
The FUHO inverter models are replacing the traditional mechanical transmission with the characteristic of an inverter to reduce spare parts’ weariness. Easier and more efficient operation on speed adjustment, with braking resistance for an automatic blade stop function, which provides better safety protection.

SPRAYING SYSTEM: MULTIFUNCTION, SIMPLE AND CONVENIENT
The minimal spraying system could use for chip blow, mist and lubrication. (Plant air required)
