Grizzly 17" Metal/Wood Bandsaw - G0640X

Introducing the Grizzly G0640X Bandsaw, a versatile and powerful addition to any woodworker’s or metalworker’s arsenal. This bandsaw takes the best features from Grizzly’s renowned vertical wood-cutting bandsaws and enhances them with a variable blade speed control. The inclusion of two speed ranges allows the G0640X to operate efficiently between 100–3600 FPM, making it not just a wood-cutting bandsaw but also an adept metal-cutting tool. With this range, the G0640X is capable of tackling a vast array of cutting tasks, no matter the material.

At the heart of the G0640X is its Delta VFD-M inverter. This advanced component provides 3-phase, variable-speed power while conveniently operating on a standard single-phase power source. The practical benefits of the VFD are twofold: it significantly increases the efficiency of the motor, leading to reduced electricity consumption, and it also minimizes wear and tear. This ensures not only cost savings in terms of energy use but also extends the lifespan of the bandsaw.

The bandsaw’s blade tracking and tensioning systems are designed for ease of use and precision. Blade tracking is achieved through a simple adjustment of the upper wheel tilt. The tension lever and handwheel allow for effortless adjustment of blade tensioning. Additionally, the tension lever can be disengaged to relieve tension on the tires when the saw is not in use, further contributing to the machine’s longevity. For added convenience, a wood-cutting blade comes pre-installed, and a metal-cutting blade is also included.

The G0640X features a generously sized 23-5/8" x 17-1/4" table, capable of tilting from 5° left to 45° right. This range of motion allows for a wide array of angled cuts, enhancing the saw’s versatility. The table is complemented by a durable cast-iron fence with an extruded-aluminum rail and a resaw fence attachment, providing solid and reliable support for various types of cuts.

Additional features that contribute to the popularity of Grizzly bandsaws are present in the G0640X. These include the rack-and-pinion upper guide adjustment, which ensures easy and precise guide setting, as well as the robust cast-iron trunnion and wheels. These features collectively enhance the bandsaw’s performance, durability, and ease of use.

In summary, the Grizzly G0640X Bandsaw stands out as a multifunctional powerhouse, adept in both wood and metal cutting. Its combination of variable speed control, efficient power usage, easy-to-use blade systems, and a versatile table setup make it an invaluable tool for any workshop seeking a reliable and versatile bandsaw solution.
