Features no competitor in this class

With industry-exclusive technology that comes standard on every S-20 Next Generation – not available on any competing saw at this price point.

Industry Exclusive

Industry Exclusive

Eco-Smart Mist Lubrication System

A precision air-mist system delivers a fine, targeted spray directly on the blade—eliminating the mess and ongoing expense of flood coolant. Solenoid-activated from the HMI. 64 oz reservoir with low-level detection.

✓ Up to 90% less coolant—cleaner shop, lower operating costs

45–375 SFM variable frequency drive lets you dial in the right blade speed for steel, aluminum, stainless, and other materials — maximizing blade life and cut quality across every job.

"I've been in the trade 48 years, machine building and aircraft, East coast and West coast, and this is the best and easiest bandsaw I've ever used. It runs daily, strong and smooth. We're using far fewer blades, which alone helps with the cost. It cuts in a fraction of the time we were used to. Most expensive saw we've bought, but we got real value."
