Metabo BS 1638 W
| MachineInfoBox Metabo BS 1638 W | |
|---|---|
| |
| Type: | Bandsaw |
| Material: | wood |
| Used with: | 2225 mm bandsaw blades; bandsaw fence, bandsaw sled |
| Location: | wood workshop |
| Access Requirements: | Bandsaw Introduction |
| Manual: | identical(?): Metabo BAS 380 (libble.de) |
| Tutors: | Lukas Loewenstein |
The Metabo BS 1638 W (you can probably drop the "W" when searching for accessories) is a three-wheeled bandsaw for 2225 mm bandsaw blades.
DO NOT use the integrated disc sander! A proper disc sander needs a table against kickback, and it's generally a bad idea to use a sharp blade as a mere driving belt...
The saw was missing a parallel fence but Manu built one that should be fine for most uses, please help us out if you would like to improve and document it further!

This small bandsaw does not have much power, but is nice for learning the basics and in case you just need to make some curvy or cold cuts through soft metals.
The blade guides are very simple, just consisting of two pins for the sides and a bearing for the back of the blade. Ignaz is going to turn an eccentric bearing mount to increase their lifetime (by default, the blade runs too close to the center of the bearing).
Please refer to the proper blade-guide distances explained in our bandsaw introduction, NOT the ones from the manual!
Specs:
- blade length - 1400 mm
- max. blade width - ???
- max. blade thickness - 0.36 mm [2]
- max. cutting depth - 80 mm
