DM-12/15 Double Miter

Manual Double Miter Band Saw

The DM-12/15 double miter band saw delivers exceptional cutting capacity in a versatile, floor-friendly package. Its cast iron head and vises are engineered for rigidity, absorbing vibration and holding accuracy through every cut. A rotating table with a single cut line lets the head and blade groove move together for smooth, precise mitering, making the DM-12/15 a productive, large-capacity double miter band saw.

  • Big capacity: cuts up to 15″ wide and 12″ round at 90°

  • Cast iron head and vises absorb vibration for accurate, repeatable cuts and longer blade life.

  • 3 HP direct VFD drive. No belts, no pulleys, nothing to maintain or replace.

  • Footprint: 48″ W × 88″ L, with storage built into the base.

  • VFD variable blade speed, 49–377 SFM, plus laser line and work light. Built for daily production

Why the HYDMECH DM-12/15 Double Miter BAND SAW

Built for accurate, everyday double-miter cutting

Built around the features that matter most on a double miter band saw: rigidity, fast setups, and accurate mitering. All standard on every DM-12/15.

Accurate mitering

DM-1215 Rotating Table With Single Cut Line

Rotating Table with Single Cut Line

Accuracy starts at the table. The DM-12/15’s rotating table uses a single cut line, so the head and blade groove move together as you miter. That keeps cuts aligned across the full 45-degree-left to 45-degree-right range, and replaceable wear strips keep it accurate over years of use.

Less vibration. Longer blade life. Cuts you can trust the first time.

✓ Single cut line keeps miters aligned across the full range

Faster setups

DM-1215 Quick Release Cast Iron Vise On Dovetail Ways

Quick-Release Cast Iron Vise

Setup time is money. The DM-12/15’s quick-release cast iron vise with dovetail ways lets operators clamp and release material fast between jobs and cuts, without cranking a hand wheel through its full travel every time. The grip stays firm and square, so material doesn’t shift mid-cut and your angles hold.

✓ Quick-release vise for faster setups and secure clamping

DM-1215 Laser Projector Work Light

Laser Line and Work Light

A laser projector throws a thin line right where the blade will cut, so operators can line up material fast and accurately. A built-in work light keeps the cutting area bright. Together they take the guesswork out of positioning, cut after cut.

✓ Laser line plus work light for fast, accurate setup
