Overview

The DoAll C-916M is widely regarded as one of the most reliable manual horizontal bandsaws ever built. This 1992 unit represents the pinnacle of American-made industrial saws, featuring a high-rigidity frame and a massive 9" x 16" capacity. Unlike lightweight modern alternatives, the C-916M utilizes a heavy cast-iron head and bed to dampen vibration, ensuring straighter cuts and significantly longer blade life. It is the ideal machine for structural steel fabrication, maintenance shops, and production cutting of solid bar stock.

Key Features & Performance

• Variable Speed Drive: The mechanical variable speed pulley allows for instant adjustment of blade speed to match the material—from stainless steel and tool steel to aluminum and structural tubing.
• Precision Hydraulic Feed: A dedicated hydraulic cylinder with a micro-metering valve provides precise control over the head's descent, preventing blade damage on thin-wall materials.
• Heavy-Duty Carbide Guides: Factory-installed carbide-faced blade guides and ball-bearing rollers minimize blade twist and maintain squareness over long production runs.
• Integrated Coolant System: Features a high-volume pump and manifold that delivers coolant directly to the blade guides, essential for high-speed cutting and extended blade life.
• Rapid-Action Vise: Manual quick-acting vise for fast material changes and secure clamping.
• Safety Features: Equipped with a head-mounted "Auto-Shutoff" switch that stops the motor the moment the cut is completed.

Dealer Note: "Serial #489-92533 is a 'honest' American workhorse. Manufactured in 1992, this saw comes from the era when DoAll built machines to last for decades, not years. It is in good operating condition and ready for immediate service. Whether you are cutting heavy 10-inch solids or delicate structural angles, the C-916M provides the rigidity and control that modern imports simply cannot match."
