W.F. WELLS Horizontal bandsaw Model B-25-1 25" x 40" , Round 25.5, 7.5 HP
W.F. Wells, Inc is unique in the U.S. machine tool industry in that it has continued to manufacture its products in the U.S.A. while so many others are importing what they sell. W.F. Wells, Inc provides bandsaws that handle the requirements of the metal cutting industry but also non-ferrous products such as glass, ceramics, graphite, crystals and wooden products. It is this versatility that has allowed us to expand in an ever-changing market.
In 1925 William Franklin Wells founded the Wells Manufacturing Corp. to make meat-cutting bandsaws. In 1928 the company introduced a horizontal metal cutting bandsaw, which would later be claimed to be the world's first such saw.
At some point Mr. Wells sold his interest in the business. The new owners emphasized the Wellsaw brand, which had already been in use; the official company name remained the same. In 1948 Mr. Wells formed another company called W. F. Wells & Sons, which also made metal cutting bandsaws.
In 1985 Wells Manufacturing Corp. got into financial trouble and changed hands. In 1991 the new owners of Wells Manufacturing Corp. purchased the assets of W. F. Wells & Sons, and merged the two companies, with the merged company being named W.F. Wells, Inc. The company is still in business today manufacturing horizontal metal cutting band saws.
