When considering the purchase of a fully automatic bandsaw the design and quality of the material feed system is the most important factor, as ultimately the design of the feed system will determine the reliability and accuracy of the cut pieces.

The BigStone automatic bandsaws are all fitted with the a independent feed vice system, it is totally independent from the machine bed that supports the weight of the material when the feed vice is on the return stroke both vice jaws retract so as there is no contact on the sides of the material. Any contact on the side of the material will make the cut length accuracy inconsistent.

The independent feed vice system in conjunction with the roller feed bed that is fitted as a standard feature on all the BigStone automatic bandsaws, also makes a significant reduction in the force required to feed the material.
