The Dake SE-712 3/4-hp horizontal floor-standing band saw has four blade speeds, a hydraulic control system, a coolant pump system, and a variety of safety controls for medium-duty cutting applications. The floor-standing model has a heavy steel base and a vibration-resistant table bed for accurate cutting. The saw offers blade speeds of 85, 130, 180, and 235 feet per minute (fpm) for cutting stainless steel, tool steel, some carbon and nickel-chromium-molybdenum alloy steels, some copper alloys, bronze, and hard brass. The band saw has a hydraulic control system for feeding stock at variable rates and can be locked at any height. The coolant pump system cleans and cools the workpiece and blade for cutting at high speeds or on difficult materials. The band saw has low voltage reset, thermo overload protection, blade guards, safety interlocks, and an automatic shut-off mechanism for safety.

H is height, the vertical distance from the lowest to highest point; W is width, the horizontal distance from left to right; L is length, the horizontal distance from front to back.

Band saws, also called bandsaws, use long, continuous saw blades that wrap around the wheels of the saw to make straight or curved cuts in a range of materials. Band saws may be portable and handheld, stationary and mountable on a table or counter, or stationary and floor-standing. A band saw's blade is oriented vertically or horizontally, or may be interchangeable. Horizontal band saws hold the workpiece more securely than vertical band saws for straight cuts and large-scale production cutting. Vertical bands saws are better than horizontal band saws for curved or intricate cuts.
