Hitachi makes some of the best power saws in the world, and the Hitachi band saw would be worth every penny that you will spend buying it.
Founded as a small electrical repair shop in the early 1900s, Hitachi has grown into one of the largest companies in the world. Hitachi now makes various products, but its core ones are still electronic devices.
Milwaukee Tools
Nowadays, Hitachi is known as one of the best makers of power tools in the world. Among Hitachi's exceptional line of tools is the Hitachi band saw. Right now, two of the most popular Hitachi band saws are the CB6Y 10 inch Tilt Head saw and the CB75F saw.
CB75F Hitachi Band Saw:
Built with a powerful 15 amp motor, the CB75F saw is perfect for those who are looking for a high performing saw for heavy-duty work. Its maximum cutting height is 11.8 inches while 10.24 inches is the full cutting width; such cutting height and width is a blessing for woodworking since both offer increased work piece capabilities. There is no problem accommodating large work pieces with this Hitachi saw. It has a very spacious table measuring at 20.67 inches x 19.29 inches.
When working with a heavy machine, one of the main priorities is safety. After all, the bulk of band saw accidents happen with huge stationary ones. As a precaution, the CB75F band saw is equipped with a hand brake.
Aside from safety, one thing that woodworkers demand is accuracy. Hitachi knows this. They have been in the business for too long not to know this fact. The CB75F is equipped with rack and pinion fence that helps in ensuring accuracy and smooth operation. Another thing assists woodworkers in making precise cuts with this saw is the miter gauge groove, which can be utilized as a reference for linearity.
Despite its bulk, the CB75F saw is very versatile. With the employment of particular narrow blades, it is possible to perform curve cutting with this machine. Also, angled cutting is an easy operation with the CB75F Hitachi for it has a 45 degree table tilt system.
Tilt Head Hitachi Band Saw:
Not all homeowners can accommodate bulky stationary saws of this kind. Some have limited workshop space; others simply do not do heavy-duty work. For those who feel that a huge stationary saw would not suit their needs, the best alternative is the Tilt Head Hitachi saw. With just a 4 amp motor, the Tilt Head saw can be easily accommodated in a workshop.
Despite its small size, the Tilt Head Hitachi comes with big features. It is perhaps the only band saw that is capable of tilting its head. This tilting head feature allows a work piece and base to remain flat while the whole head of the saw tilts to the desired angle, which ranges from 90 to 45 degrees. Such flexibility can help a woodworker to make difficult angled cuts.
The Tilt Head saw also comes with a solid cast iron base that withstands vibration. And that is a very important thing. Unwanted vibrations may cause woodworkers to make wrong cuts. With this saw, erroneous cuts due to vibration do not happen.
Other special features of the Tilt Head Hitachi band saw are: LED work light to improve visibility of cut line, a locking paddle switch to avoid unauthorized use, a built-in dust collection system, and a miter gauge grooves for easier ripping, re-sawing, and cross cutting.
