H-Series

Dual Column, High Production, Capacities to fit all needs

Hydmech H-Series saws are rigid, dual-post horizontal band saws in which the head descends straight down (guillotine style) for square, high-production cutting rather than mitering. They are built for multi-shift fabricators, steel service centers, forge and die shops cutting solids, tubing, channel, angle, stainless, aluminum and high-temperature alloys, and they suit bundle or multiple slugging work. Every model uses a true direct VFD blade drive, full-stroke hydraulic vises with variable pressure, hydraulic positive down feed and a split front vise that leaves a short remnant. Automatic models add a ball-screw shuttle for multi-indexing with kerf compensation and a PLC touchscreen (Mitsubishi FX5U on larger models) storing up to 999 jobs. Long bar feeds to 120", canted heads and overhead bundling are available on selected models.
