The Forte 400 is a used horizontal band saw — sometimes referred to as a horizontal bandsaw or metal-cutting band saw — a machine type designed to cut metal bar stock, profiles, tubes, and solid sections by drawing a continuous looped blade under controlled tension across the workpiece. Horizontal band saws are a standard fixture in metalworking workshops, fabrication shops, and engineering facilities where accurate, repeatable straight cuts are required on a range of materials and cross-sections.
The seller's notes detail the blade dimensions as 4870 × 25 × 0.9 mm, describing the length, width, and gauge of the continuous cutting band fitted to this machine. The drive system is rated at 1 kW in standard operation, rising to 1.6 kW at peak load, indicating a two-speed or dual-rated motor arrangement suited to varying material demands. An options figure of 1400 mm is listed, which likely refers to the maximum workpiece or cutting capacity available with the optional configuration. The machine weighs approximately 980 kg, making it a substantial floor-standing unit. A welding set is included with this listing, which is a practical addition for a band saw of this type, as it allows the operator to join or repair broken blade stock on-site rather than sourcing a pre-joined replacement blade.
This machine is located in Belgium and is offered in used condition.
