110V BANDSAW

Mobile Applications MA615 Portable Bandsaw 110V: The Site Workhorse

The Mobile Applications MA615 Portable Bandsaw 110V is a heavy-duty, versatile, and highly reliable site bandsaw, specifically engineered for the demanding conditions of construction, demolition, and particularly the raised access flooring industry. Known for its robust build quality and exceptional cutting capacity, the MA615 provides precise and efficient cutting through a wide range of challenging materials that would typically damage conventional woodworking bandsaws or struggle with abrasive cut-off saws. Its 110V operation makes it perfectly suited for safe use on UK job sites.

Features

• Exceptional Material Versatility:
  • While specifically designed for the raised access flooring industry (cutting steel-encapsulated / wood-core or calcium sulphate-based floor panels), the MA615 is equally adept at cutting:
    • Reinforced concrete (with appropriate blades)
    • Steel pipe
    • Rail panels
    • Slate block
    • Various metals, plastics, wood, chipboard, composite panels, and Perspex sheet.
  • This broad material capability makes it an incredibly versatile tool for diverse site requirements.
• Impressive Cutting Capacity:
  • Max. Cutting Depth: 600mm (approximately 23.6 inches) – This is a significant depth, allowing for large-section materials.
  • Max. Cutting Height: Typically 150mm (approximately 5.9 inches) – indicating the thickness of material it can handle.
  • Cutting Width: Often specified around 13.5 inches, translating to approximately 340mm.
• Robust & Durable Construction:
  • Jig-Welded 1/8” Section Steel Frame: Ensures exceptional strength and lightness, built to withstand years of rigorous use in harsh environments.
  • Dual Sealed Bearings: All wheels feature dual sealed bearings for maintenance-free and trouble-free operation over long periods.
  • Automotive Specification A.B.S. Covers: Blade covers are made from durable and light ABS plastic, providing protection.
  • Over-Engineered Design: The MA615 is known for being extremely tough and hard-working, built for longevity and reliability, reducing downtime and replacement costs.
• Powerful & Reliable Motor:
  • Typically equipped with a high-quality ¾ horsepower, 2-pole electric motor (550W input power).
  • This motor is mated to a precision-machined gearbox for reliable power delivery, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy loads.
• 110V Site Compliance:
  • Operates on a 110V power supply, making it fully compliant with UK site regulations for electrical safety.
• Portable Design:
  • Weighing approximately 50 kg, it's considered portable for a machine of its capability, often designed to fit in the boot of a car for transport.
  • Often supplied with a tripod stand for stable vertical operation.
• Safety Features:
  • Front cover micro-switch to prevent operation with the cover open.
  • Recommendations for ear defenders and pushing sticks for material less than 150mm width.
  • Adjustable blade guide and blade tensioner for optimal and safe cutting.
  • Blade guard designed to be pulled down close to the workpiece.
• Blade Versatility:
  • Compatible with various blade types depending on the material, including:
    • 8/12 Vari Pitch Bi-metal blades (general purpose, metals, plastics, wood, raised computer floors)
    • 6 TPI Bi-metal blades (wood, thick aluminium, thick steel)
    • 10 TPI Bi-metal blades (steel, chipboard, composite panels)
    • 14 TPI Bi-metal blades (thin steel, plastic, Perspex sheet)
    • 24 TPI Premium Carbon blade (thin sheet steel & ceiling panels)
    • Grit edge blades (for cement, concrete, ceramic & glass)
    • Carbide-tipped blades (for very abrasive materials like calcium composites).

Applications

The Mobile Applications MA615 Portable Bandsaw is an essential tool for:

• Raised Access Flooring Installation: Its primary intended use, for precise and clean cuts of steel-encapsulated and other composite floor panels.
• Building & Construction Sites: Cutting various construction materials, including rebar, concrete panels (with grit blades), timber, and plastic pipes.
• Demolition: Preparing materials for removal or sizing.
• Plumbing & Electrical Installation: Cutting steel conduits, pipes, and other materials.
• Fabrication & Metalworking (light-duty): Cutting various metal profiles and sheets.
• General Site Work: Any task requiring precise cuts through mixed or tough materials where traditional saws may struggle or be unsafe.
