Not every fabrication department needs an automatic saw to make accurate angled cuts. The FMB Antares bandsaw keeps the cutting process operator-controlled, pairing a pull-down saw head with double-miter capability for bar, tube, and structural profiles. The head swings from 60° right to 45° left while the vise remains stationary, giving shops a straightforward way to move between square and angled cuts without repeatedly repositioning long material.
Antares Features:
Antares is a pull down metal bandsaw designed for applications where the operator benefits from direct control of the cutting cycle. Instead of adding automatic feed and indexing systems, the machine concentrates on straightforward material setup and manual saw-head operation, making it practical for prototypes, repair work, short runs, and fabrication jobs with frequently changing requirements.
The manual double miter bandsaw configuration allows the saw head to move from 60° right to 45° left while the vise remains stationary. This is especially useful with longer tube and structural sections because opposite-angle cuts can be produced without turning the entire workpiece around between operations.
The FMB Antares bandsaw is suited to shops that move regularly between bar, tubing, structural profiles, and other metal sections rather than running one repetitive cutoff job. Its combination of manual operation and bidirectional mitering gives operators flexibility for frames, weldments, supports, and other components where cut geometry can change from part to part.
