Inland DB-100 Band Saw

The Inland Craft DB-100 Band Saw is the perfect workbench tool for cutting free-form cabochons, different shapes, organic curves, inside curves, stained glass pieces, mosaics and more. The basic DB-100 includes a diamond band saw blade that is designed to cut material such as glass, stone, tile, ceramic, plastics and shells.

The 3-blade version comes with a diamond band saw blade, bandsaw blade for wood and a bandsaw blade for metal. Three different saw blades allow you to cut dozens of different material, both wet and dry.

Cutting curves, which is the most difficult task for any lapidary saw machine to do, is now within easy reach with the DB-100 band saw.

 

• Powerful, DC permanent-magnet motor with built in speed control, delivering speeds up to 3,400 rpm.
• Five-part, spring-loaded tension system is molded into the frame and ensures proper wheel alignment, simple blade setup and perfect tracking hour after hour. The spring-loaded tension system acts like a shock absorber to protect and enhance blade life.
• Pre-assembled coolant system provides a continuous, regulated flow of clean coolant to the band saw blade, keeping your blade properly lubricated while you saw. The installed water control valve allows easy control of the water flow while you work.
• Integrated internal drain channels and drain tubes collect and funnel excess, dirty coolant away from the blade and prevent it from re-circulating throughout the saw.
• Upper drip guide is adjustable for varying material thickness.
• Frame, cover and water reservoir are molded entirely from structural-grade thermoplastic. Interior support walls are extra thick for maximum strength and durability.
• Large work surface is 9" X 10.75" and corrosion resistant.
• The molded plastic housing absorbs and deadens sawing and motor sounds for quieter operation. Plastic construction makes it extremely light weight, easy to handle and portable.

What's Included - Basic Model

• 37.7" stainless steel diamond band saw blade, designed for wet sawing glass, stone, semiprecious gems, tile, ceramic, porcelain, marble, granite, silicon, plastics, fiberglass, fiberboard, leather and shells.
• Two BladeSert blade guides to support the blade at the point of sawing and to ensure the blade is tracking straight and true for maximum control and accurate cuts
• Leather blade wiper to help control the water spray when wet sawing with the diamond band saw blade
• One-year warranty (90-day warranty when used in a salt water environment)
• Instruction manual

What's Included - 3 Blade Model

• All of the above plus 2 additional band saw blades.

• A bandsaw blade for wood, wood composites, acrylic plastics, leather, polyethylene and polycarbonate plastics.

• A bandsaw blade for metal, thin brass, copper, zinc, aluminum, tin, nonferrous metals, fiberglass, leather, acrylic plastics and circuit boards.

Machine Details

• Cutting speed: Dependent on material type and thickness, up to 12 inches/minute (30.5 cm/minute)

Expectations

• Sound: This band saw sounds like a loud sewing machine. In general, saws and sawing are inherently noisy.
• Water: This band saw comes with a drain hose, but by design, the unit is not completely sealed. We suggest placing a tray (not included) of your choice underneath the saw. You may like to have both a tray and a sponge to absorb excess water.
• Saw housing: This band saw housing is made of composite plastics that will not rust, so there is zero maintenance required.

 

Important Purchasing Note

Band saw machines are optimized for cutting shapes and curves, so there is a large amount of "travel" in the band saw blade, which is necessary for cutting these shapes and curves. It is NOT designed for cutting thick slabs of rough rock or glass. If you are looking to cut thick slabs of rocks and glass, we suggest a fixed-blade saw.
