HEM saw Model WF 190A-DC Capacity 25" x 44" Automatic, Dual Column
HEM Saw offers the WF190LA-DC-C wide-flange band saw machine. This horizontal automatic band saw is designed specifically for cutting wide-flange beams with capacities ranging from 25” high to 44” wide.
It features a dual-column design, and the pair of huge columns provide for an exceptional amount of strength and precision for fast and accurate cutting results.
The WF190LA-DC-C uses a 15 HP motor and another 5 HP motor for the hydraulics. The machine is designed to accommodate a 26’9” blade length x 2” blade width x .063” blade thickness. It can be set to a 9.2 degree permanent arm tilt.

1. Swing-Away Control Console
The Control Console is located on the front of the saw, in a swing-away console, for operator convenience.
2. 24" Roller Discharge Table
A standard Roller Discharge Table provides easier handling after the cut. The table is 24" in length and is fully coolant panned.
3. Full Stroking Bi-Directional Main Vise
A Full-Stroking Bi-Directional Main Vise clamps material at the turn of a switch, and holds the ma­terial in place to ensure accurate cuts. The clamp­ing pressure is easily adjusted to clamp various materials.
4. Carbide Blade Guides & lead In/lead Out Roller Guides
A blade guide system is composed of side and back guides, which are flat carbide inserts. In addition to precision-ground flat carbides, roller guides are used to reduce vibration when cutting hard materials.
5. Built-In Flood Coolant System
The saw has a totally built-in coolant system with sealed coolant pump, with coolant that is dispensed through a flex-tube nozzle to flood the center of the cut. A cutting fluid clean-up hose is provided for machine wash down.
6. Adjustable Feed Rate & Cut Pressure
The saw arm Feed Rate can be adjusted from zero to 3 inches per second. Cutting pressure can be adjusted for effective metal removal rates.
7. Blade Brush
A shaft-driven Blade Brush is standard for positive removal of metal chips that lodge in the blade gul­lets. This system ensures a cleaner blade, more accurate cuts, and prolonged blade life.
8. Push Button Blade Speed
Blade speed can be adjusted with an infinitely variable speed drive from the console with push button controls. The blade speed is shown on the console with LED Readout.
9. Powered Guide Arm
The Powered Guide Arm provides optimum blade support as material size changes. The guide arm works in conjunction with the main vise to adjust automatically while holding the blade securely, providing straighter cuts and longer blade life.
10. Powered Blade Tension
The Powered Blade Tensioner maintains proper blade tension at all times during the cut, compensating for blade stretch. Changing blades on the saw is done in minutes, with the use of the Powered Blade Tensioner.
11. Emergency Stop
The saw is equipped with a safety Emergency Stop cut-off switch. This allows the operator to closely monitor the cutting process and quickly stop it if needed.
12. Other Safety Features
The Safety Lockout Key is used to disable saw operation during maintenance.
The saw will automatically shut off if the blade breaks, shown by the Broken Blade Indicator.
13. The Panic Stop halts all automatic functions.
In addition, the WF190LA-DC-C Band Saw Machine offers Full Stroking Bi-Directional Vises, a 0-72″ Stroke Bar-Feed System w/ Multiple Indexes & Drop-In Rollers, Lead In/Lead Out Roller Guides, a Variable Frequency Controller, an LED Blade Speed Readout, and an Adjustable Feed Rate and Cutting Force.
Like other HEM Saw wide-flange band saw machines, the WF190LA-DC-C utilizes flat carbide blade guides for solid support to each side of the blade and to help increase the stability of the blade while cutting through stock. It also features a blade chip brush and safety guards.
