Key Features

Dual Miter Head

The saw head miteres 45 degrees right and 60 degrees left, so you can make angle cuts without constantly repositioning long stock. That speeds up repeat work and helps keep setups consistent.

Heavy Duty Build

Heavy duty construction reduces vibration and deflection, which matters on a metal cutting bandsaw this size. Less movement at the cut means better accuracy and less fighting the machine.

Protected Operation

A magnetic starter, blade breakage sensor, safety-key power switch, full blade guarding, and automatic shutoff all work together to make daily production cutting safer and more controlled.

Overview

The Jet 413410 MBS-1018-3 , 10″ x 18″ Horizontal Dual Mitering Bandsaw is a stationary metal cutting saw built for shops that need clean, repeatable straight and angle cuts on larger stock. This is a horizontal dual mitering bandsaw designed for metal cutting and production angle cutting. Model Number: MBS-1018-3. With a 2 HP motor, 230/460V 3-phase power, and 10 inch round capacity at 90 degrees, this machine is aimed at fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and serious industrial users who need more than a light-duty saw can deliver.

Where this saw earns its keep is the dual-miter head design. The head moves 45 degrees right and 60 degrees left, which saves time when the work calls for frequent angle changes. Instead of wrestling material around or building workaround setups, you can set the saw to the cut you need and keep moving. Capacity stays useful across common cut types too, with 10 inch round capacity at 90 degrees, 10 x 17 inch rectangular capacity at 90 degrees, 10 x 12 inch rectangular capacity at 45 degrees, and 6 x 5 inch rectangular capacity at 60 degrees.

JET built this one like a real shop machine, not a stripped-down price-point unit. Heavy duty construction reduces vibration and deflection, which helps the blade track better and keeps cuts more consistent over long runs. The machine also includes a blade tension gauge, which is one of those features that matters more than it sounds like. Correct blade tension is a big part of cut quality and blade life, especially when you are cutting a mix of materials and section sizes.

For day-to-day operation, the hydraulic downfeed control gives you a practical way to match feed rate to the material you are cutting. That means you can slow the descent for tougher stock or let the saw feed more efficiently on material that does not need as much restraint. There is also an automatic shutoff switch to stop the sawing process when the cut is complete, so the machine is not just sitting there running after the work is done.

Shop cleanup and chip control were not ignored here either. The built-in self-propelled blade brush helps prevent chip buildup in the blade guides, which supports cleaner operation and more reliable tracking. JET also includes a coolant system and an integrated pressurized wash hose for easier machine cleanup. On a saw built for metal cutting, those are practical features, not extras. They help manage chips, keep the machine easier to maintain, and support better performance over time.

Safety and protection features are stronger than what you get on many basic saws. The magnetic starter provides low voltage and lost phase protection, the blade is fully guarded, the power switch uses a safety key to help prevent accidental startup, and the automatic blade breakage sensor interrupts power if the blade fails. On a 1,034 lb stationary bandsaw, those details matter. They help protect the operator and the machine during long shifts and repeated cutting cycles.

Physically, this is a big machine with overall dimensions of 79 x 36 x 46 inches and a net weight of 1,034 lbs. That weight is part of the appeal if you are buying for stability and serious use. It is not meant for a corner hobby setup or occasional trim work. It is meant for dedicated floor space where metal stock gets processed regularly and accuracy, control, and repeatability matter.

If you run a fabrication shop, maintenance shop, production floor, or serious welding setup, this JET horizontal bandsaw makes sense. If you need straight cuts, miter cuts, repeatable feed control, and a machine that is built to stay planted while working through larger stock, this is the kind of saw you buy once and put to work for years.

Set Angles Without Reworking the Setup

The dual-mitering head is the feature that changes how this saw works in a real shop. You can swing the head 45 degrees right or 60 degrees left for angle cuts instead of spending extra time repositioning stock.

• Head movement: 45 degrees right, 60 degrees left
• 10 inch round capacity at 45 degrees and 6 inch round capacity at 60 degrees
• Rectangular capacity stays useful for structural material and larger workpieces

Built to Stay Accurate Under Load

On a saw this size, mass and rigidity are part of performance. The heavy-duty frame helps cut down on vibration and deflection, and the quick action vise helps lock material down fast when you are moving through repeated cuts.

• Net weight: 1,034 lbs for a stable, planted machine footprint
• Quick action vise is standard equipment on this 10 inch saw
• Blade tension gauge helps keep blade setup in the right range

Made for Daily Shop Use

This machine is set up for real production work, not occasional cuts. Feed control, automatic shutoff, coolant, and cleanup features all help it fit into a busy metalworking workflow.

• Hydraulic downfeed control adjusts feed rate to suit different materials
• Automatic shutoff stops the sawing process at the end of the cut
• Coolant system and integrated pressurized wash hose support cleaner operation

Pro Tip

Use the blade tension gauge every time you change blades, then fine-tune your hydraulic downfeed to the material instead of leaving one feed setting for everything. That combo will do more for cut quality and blade life than just forcing the saw through the stock.

Tool Nut’s Take

Tool Nut’s Take

Jet 413410 MBS-1018-3 Horizontal Dual Mitering Bandsaw Means Business

This is the kind of shop saw you buy when you are done messing around with light-duty machines and need stable, repeatable metal cutting with real angle capability.

• Who it’s for: Fabricators, machine shops, weld shops, and industrial maintenance crews cutting larger stock and needing straight and mitered cuts from one machine.
• Why it stands out: The left-and-right dual mitering head, hydraulic downfeed control, blade tension gauge, quick action vise, and built-in protection features make it easier to run accurately and consistently.
• Worth knowing: This is a 230/460V 3-phase, 1,034 lb stationary saw. You need the right power and dedicated floor space, but if your shop can support it, you are getting a serious production tool.
