Machine Description
The PANHANS 3V is a modern and spacious bandsaw suitable for cutting (cross-cutting and splitting) wood and
similar materials. The tool is a toothed steel band to which the cutting movement is transmitted by three band
rollers (only one of which is motorised).
After actuating the main switch, the drive motor drives the lower flywheel. All operating elements as well as the
two emergency stop buttons are easily accessible from the machine operator's workplace.
The machine operator transfers the cutting movement to the workpiece, either manually or by means of addi-
tional auxiliary or pushing devices. The adjustable guard reduces the risk of contact with the working tool.
