Band saw Scheppach HS120 — 2000 W, blade Ø31.5 cm, cutting height 8.3 cm (90°), base plate 40 cm

Scheppach HS120 is a freestanding band saw designed for workshop and woodworking tasks. It is powered by a 2000 W motor operating at 230 V / 50 Hz and accepts a single continuous blade running on wheels with a blade diameter of 31.5 cm. The machine provides a cutting height of 8.3 cm at 90° and 4.9 cm at 45°, and its table can be swiveled from -45° to 45°. The stainless steel and blue housing and a 40 cm base plate offer stable support for workpieces during sawing operations.

Advantages

The band saw delivers high input power for consistent cutting performance and supports angled cuts with an adjustable table. Its wheel-and-blade configuration allows for continuous cutting on long or curved profiles, while the 40 cm base plate improves material support and operator control. The compact freestanding design reduces the workshop footprint and the steel housing contributes to long-term durability.

Suitable for

• Cutting solid wood and timber components
• Resawing and ripping smaller boards
• Curved or irregular cuts in wooden panels
• General workshop tasks that require stable, angled cuts

How to use

Set the band saw on a stable, level surface and connect to a 230 V / 50 Hz supply in accordance with local electrical regulations. Fit a suitable blade with a minimum width of 2 cm and tension it following the manufacturer's guidance. Adjust the table angle to the desired position within the -45° to 45° range and secure the workpiece on the 40 cm base plate. Feed the material steadily into the running blade, using push sticks or other safety aids for small pieces, and allow the motor's 2000 W power to perform the cut without forcing the workpiece.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (eye and hearing protection and dust mask) and ensure blade guards are in place. Choose blade type and tooth pitch suitable for the material (coarse teeth for rapid ripping, finer teeth for smooth finishing). For accurate angled cuts, verify table tilt with a protractor and make test cuts on scrap material before final operations.
