HYDMECH S-20 Next Generation Horizontal Pivot Band Saw
Trusted by job shops across North America since 1978
H Series / Automatic Dual-Post Band Saw

H-22A

Built to run. Backed to last.

The H-22A is built for production shops that cut heavy material day in and day out. 22″ capacity. Dual-post frame. Servo shuttle. 10 HP direct-drive. And now with the AutoSet Control System standard, setup is automatic regardless of who is running the machine. The same HYDMECH build quality shops have counted on for decades. The same North American service support. Upgraded controls that match what the modern shop expects.

  • Material library sets feeds, speeds, and pressure automatically. Less guesswork, longer blade life, lower cost per cut.

  • 22″ capacity. Dual-post frame. Square cuts under heavy load.
  • 10 HP direct-drive. No belts, no pulleys, nothing to maintain or replace.
  • Servo-controlled shuttle indexes 0 to 34″ in a single stroke with automatic kerf compensation.
  • Manufactured in Woodstock, Ontario. Backed by the HYDMECH North American dealer network.

AutoSet Control System

Setup has always depended on the operator. Feed pressure too high and you burn blades. Too low and cycle times suffer. The AutoSet Control System takes that variable out of the equation.

Through the 7″ Mitsubishi FX5U touchscreen, operators enter three things: the material profile, the material width and type, and whether the cut is a single piece or a bundle. The system sets the blade speed, feed pressure, and downfeed rate automatically. It also recommends the correct TPI for that material and cut.

The result is consistent cuts regardless of who is running the saw. New operators are productive immediately. Experienced operators spend less time on setup. And up to 999 jobs can be stored with a 10-job active queue, so repeat work requires no setup at all.

HYDMECH Material Library

Dual-Post Frame Construction

The rigid dual-column design eliminates the twist and deflection that causes out-of-square cuts. One-piece welded construction holds its precision under heavy loads without requiring alignment. It is the foundation that makes everything else on this machine work.

✓ Rigid construction that holds precision under heavy production loads.

Servo-Controlled Multi-Indexing Shuttle

The cast-iron shuttle vise indexes material up to 34″ in a single stroke with automatic kerf compensation. Cycle times stay fast and cut lengths stay repeatable without operator adjustment. Steel guide arms maintain blade-to-material alignment throughout every stroke.

✓ Faster cycle times. Repeatable cut lengths without operator adjustment.

10 HP Direct-Drive Blade System

No belts. No pulleys. Full torque from the first cut of the day. The 10 HP VFD direct-drive motor runs variable speed from 40 to 300 SFM with less vibration and nothing to adjust or replace on the drivetrain. Heavy-duty cast-iron band wheels and hydraulic carbide guide tensioning keep the blade running true.

✓ More torque, less maintenance, longer blade life.

COMMON QUESTIONS

What Buyers Ask About the H-22A

How does the AutoSet Control System work?2026-04-24T01:57:32+00:00

The operator selects the material profile, enters the width and type, and indicates whether it is a single piece or a bundle. The system automatically sets blade speed, feed pressure, and downfeed rate, and recommends the correct TPI. No manual calculation required.

Can the H-22A cut bundles?2026-04-24T01:56:56+00:00

Yes. Full-capacity hydraulic vises are standard. Hydraulic overhead bundling clamps are available as an option for shops doing regular bundle cutting, and can significantly reduce cycle times by allowing you to cut more material at the same time.

What is the 6° canted head option?2026-04-24T01:55:03+00:00

The canted head tilts the blade 6° for better penetration on solid material, allowing faster feed rates and longer blade life. It reduces maximum capacity from 22″ to 20″ round. Your dealer can help you determine whether it makes sense for your material mix.

Does the H-22A come with flood coolant?2026-04-24T01:58:48+00:00

Yes, flood coolant with a wash-down hose is standard. Mist lubrication is available as an option.

Where is the H-22A built and what does support look like?2026-04-24T01:52:10+00:00

The H-22A is built in Woodstock, Ontario and backed by the HYDMECH North American dealer network, with proactive service support designed to catch issues before they become downtime.
