Description
One bandsaw for virtually every material. The Proxxon MBS/E MICRO Bandsaw delivers precise, controlled cuts in steel, non-ferrous metals, wood, plastic, glass, and ceramics — an unusually broad material range for a bench bandsaw of this size. Feedback-controlled blade speed from 395 to 820 ft/min maintains consistent cutting speed under load, and the 200×200mm table tilts from 0–45° for angled cuts. A band saw blade is included to get you started.

Blade Selection Guide
The MBS/E accepts standard replacement blades — blade choice significantly affects cut quality and blade life:
- Bimetallic 10/14 TPI (No. 28172): For steel and hard metals. Bimetallic construction handles the hardness and heat of metal cutting.
- Swedish Steel Coarse 14 TPI (No. 28176): For general metal cutting and thicker non-ferrous stock.
- Swedish Steel Fine 24 TPI (No. 28174): For thin-walled tubing, sheet metal, and fine cuts in non-ferrous metals.
- Special Tempered Steel Coarse 14 TPI (No. 28180): For wood, plastics, and softer materials.
Frequently Asked Questions
What does feedback-controlled speed mean?
The feedback control system monitors blade speed under load and automatically adjusts motor power to maintain consistent cutting speed — preventing the blade from slowing down when cutting harder or thicker material, which extends blade life and improves cut quality.
Can this cut glass and ceramics?
Yes — with the appropriate blade, the MBS/E can cut glass and ceramics. Contact us for blade recommendations for these materials.
What is the throat depth?
The throat depth of 150mm (5-29/32") is the distance from the blade to the vertical column — this determines the maximum width of workpiece you can cut. A 150mm throat accommodates most bench-scale workpieces.
