Serra de fita vertical Metabo BAS 318 Precision WNB

The Metabo BAS 318 Precision WNB is a vertical band saw designed for precise woodworking and metalworking tasks. Equipped with a 900 W induction motor and two selectable blade speeds (up to 410 m/min), it offers stable, low-vibration cutting performance. The cast-iron table (560 x 400 mm) tilts from 0° to 45° for angled cuts and supports a maximum cutting height of 170 mm and cutting width of 307 mm. Built for durability, the saw includes features that simplify blade changes, tensioning and dust extraction.

Advantages

High-precision cutting is achieved through a stable design with rubber-coated balanced flywheels and top and bottom HSS three-roller guides that are tool-free adjustable. The quiet induction motor is maintenance-free and the machine includes restart protection to prevent accidental start-up after a power interruption. Additional user-oriented features include LED work light, drawer for sawdust disposal, extendable table wings for large workpieces, quick-action clamping lever and tool-free blade guard height adjustment.

Suitable for

• Precise rip and contour cuts in wood
• Inclined and angled cutting operations (0–45°)
• Workshop use where low vibration and noise are required
• Tasks requiring external dust extraction and easy sawdust disposal

How to use

Set the table angle (0–45°) as required and secure the rip fence with the double clamping and quick fastening. Choose the appropriate blade speed for the material, check blade tension using the blade clamp indicator with scale, and adjust the blade guard height without tools. Switch on the LED work light for better visibility of the cutting line. For blade replacement or maintenance, use the quick-action clamping lever and open the door without tools. If needed, connect an external extraction system to the extraction port for low-dust operation.

Recommendations

For accurate and long-lasting results, use the correct blade type and width for the material, maintain proper blade tension as indicated on the clamp scale, and use the three-roller guides to align the blade. When cutting large workpieces, extend the table wings and secure the workpiece with the rip fence or appropriate clamps. Regularly empty the sawdust drawer and, if available, use external extraction to reduce dust in the workshop.
