Starrett releases S4230 and S4240 bandsaws

Both the Starrett S4230 and S4240 are semi-automatic bandsaws that feature cast iron bows for vibration damping and longevity, a minimal footprint and controlled hydraulic blade feed.

The S4230 is able to cut mitred corners on both the negative (-45°) and positive (60°) sides. Fitted with a 1.5 kW motor, it can cut material up to 300 mm diameter or 270 mm square.

The 2.25 kW motor on the S4240, combined with a rigid structure, creates a semi-automatic bandsaw that is suitable for intensive use and for cutting harder materials up to 300 mm diameter or square. It can also cut mitred corners at angles of between -45° and 75°, making it suitable for intricate work.

Blade speeds can be varied infinitely between 20 and 85 m/min, and digital readout display features.
