MAFELL Z 5 Ec hand-held band saw

MAFELL Z 5 Ec hand-held band saw is a powerful professional machine for demanding timber construction and renovation. As the innovative successor to the legendary Z 3, it combines a CUprex high-performance motor, die-cast magnesium parts, high torque and precise blade guidance in a compact design.

305 mm cutting depth allows large material thicknesses to be worked. Z 5 Ec delivers high cutting accuracy, a very good cut surface and precise square cuts. It suits rip and cross cuts, curved cuts and profiling, notches and cut-outs in solid wood and glulam.

Ball-bearing blade guides ensure very smooth blade travel and help achieve a precise cutting result. Blades up to 8 mm wide can be used, giving flexibility when profiling rafters and purlins and making curved cuts.

The band side can be swivelled from 0–30°, allowing various angled cuts. The unique swivelling blade guide also allows square cuts up to 90 mm deep without the second blade section touching the workpiece – especially useful for cut-outs and similar timber construction work.

The cooling air of the high-performance motor is used to keep the cutting line clean, which keeps the marking line clearly visible during work and reduces chip build-up at head height. New control technology and optimised digital electronics deliver high torque and power, and the speed can be adjusted smoothly to the task.

Z 5 Ec is suitable for rip and cross cuts, curved cuts and profiling, notches and cut-outs, as well as hip rafter cuts and angled notches in two-person mode. The included blade with back teeth makes it easier to pull the machine back out of the wood and, together with the mechanical brake, allows controlled work.

Spring pre-tensioning of the lower guide roller allows quick, easy blade changes. The undervoltage switch prevents uncontrolled restart after a power cut, giving extra safety in professional use.
