• The back-toothed blade facilitates retraction from the cut, which is especially easy if the blade is locked by the mechanical brake.
• The unique tilting blade guide allows right-angle cuts to be made up to 90 mm (3 9/16 in.) deep without the opposite side of the blade touching the wood, e.g. when cutting lapped joints.
• With a spring-mounted and tensioned idler wheel, changing blades is an easy and quick procedure.
• With CUprex, the high-performance motor.
• Variable digital electronics.
• Combined brake/off switch.
• Ball-bearing blade guide.
• 30° tilting blade side.
The Z 5 Ec portable bandsaws are the innovative successors to the legendary Z 3. Owing to a high-output motor and magnesium die-cast components, their persuasive benefits include reduced weight ( Z 5 Ec 13.7 kg), enhanced performance, higher torque and excellent handling. Exclusive with ball bearing saw band guidance for excellent band running and thus for optimum cutting. Maximum 8 mm saw bands for optimum flexibility when curving and profiling purlins and rafters. For thicker work, the otherwise identical Z 5 Ec offers an impressive cutting depth of 305 mm (12 in.). The precision that typifies MAFELL portable bandsaw enables the Z 5 Ec to execute extremely clean and perfectly square cuts. The cooling air of the high-performance motor is utilized to blow away dust from the mark. As a consequence, chips are kept well away from your head and you maintain a clear view of the mark at all times.
The efficient blower ensures a clear view of the mark.
Thanks to high torque, solid wood and cutting depths up to 305 mm respectively are not a problem for the Z5 Ec.
MAFELL benefits: the versatility make the Z5 Ec ideal machines - especially when renovating old buildings.
The mechanical safety brake is engaged by the combined brake/off switch and, like the built-in voltage drop circuit, further enhances safety.
