Band formation and morphology can be influenced by many factors, including banding solution viscosity, surface tension, presence of surfactant,
band wheel condition, wheel heights and speed, and processing temperature.
It has a 3 hp band drive motor with infinitely adjustable VFD band speed control from 50 to 400 fpm, The

band wheels and cutting blade--and up to a 12-inch-wide log.
This saw has the heaviest
