Two speeds. Backlight. Dust collector. Wheels for transportation.

Universal band saw for wood and soft metal. Unlike other types of cutting tools, a bandsaw produces very clean cuts, very fast cutting speeds, and does not release a lot of dust into the air. This model is a strong and stable steel structure weighing just over 81 kg. The desktop size is 560x400 mm. The belt speed can be set to 420 or 840 m/min. This range is sufficient for cutting both soft and hard woods, plywood, laminate, chipboard, chipboard, fiberboard, soft metal and plastics.

The maximum cutting depth is 165 mm. Due to the high speed of the belt, an impressive cutting speed is ensured. The Makita LB1200F saw is equipped with a 900W dustproof motor. The relatively small amount of power is compensated by the high efficiency of the saw, which is approximately two times higher than similar disk designs in terms of performance. The covers of all compartments are equipped with safety devices that prevent the saw from starting when the doors are open. Four branded tapes are included as standard: three for woodworking, one for metal cutting.

It features a movable parallel head and an angled guide for precise cuts, with a tilting cast iron table that accommodates workpieces up to 305 mm wide. The saw includes two fixed belt speeds and an LED light for enhanced visibility.

Pros

Cons

good machine, but could be better
14 August 2015 
when purchasing, you need to immediately buy a couple of mechanisms for tensioning the tape, or it is better to make a homemade one from steel.
In general, the saw is not bad, it lasted a year and a half - there was only one breakdown. For the money it's a pretty decent tool. More details on the forum http://forum.woodtools.ru/index.php?topic=34085.525
the tape tension mechanism is weak, made of seluminum, so it breaks down after even a month of operation.

A living classic among band saws

The Makita LB1200F band saw can be used for straight and curved cuts. It has a movable parallel head and an angled guide to help you make long, straight cuts along the markings. With an impressive power of 900 W, the saw easily handles with thick wood (cutting depth — up to 165 mm). On the 560x400 mm tilting cast iron table, workpieces up to 305 mm wide can be placed. Two fixed belt speeds make it easy to set up the machine to work with different types of wood.

Thoughtful design, excellent ergonomics

Users note the thoughtful design and neat assembly of the machine. Cutting blades are easy to change and easy to adjust (using the quick tension lever). The saw is prone to vibration, so be prepared to spend time adjusting the pulleys according to the instructions.

The ergonomics of the workplace is well thought out — quite in the spirit of the Makita tool. Everything is easily adjusted and adjusted, the scales are perfectly readable, there is LED backlight and a magnifying glass for precise cuts. Although band saws generally don't create a lot of sawdust and wood dust (when using well-sharpened blades), this machine can be called a "cleaner" because it has a dust collector and a nozzle for connecting a vacuum cleaner.

Saw anywhere

The Makita LB1200F saw is a great stationary piece of equipment (although it can be moved around on a flat floor thanks to its wheels). If you have enough space in your workshop, then you will not regret buying this machine. It is suitable for amateurs, deep woodworking enthusiasts, and professional users.
