The Heavy-Duty Model 236 Vertical Bandsaw is a versatile bandsaw designed to rapidly and accurately cut a wide range of low and medium-density materials such as insulation, rigid foams, honeycomb materials, refractory materials, plastic pipe, and a wide range of other industrial products.
The “Heavy" version of the Model 236 adds a rail mounted table, rated for up to 800 pound workpieces. The standard table is a cantilever design rated for 350 pounds.
The rail-mounted table uses 3" square tubing both to support and guide the table. With carefully selected tubing used for the rails, Forrest rail-mounted tables have a travel deviation of less than 1/8" for 125" stroke tables. The deviation is proportionately less for shorter table strokes.
Available as options for the heavy-duty bandsaw are a precision workpiece positioning fence, powered table drive, extended width and stroke tables, and precision table tracking.
For applications requiring very straight cuts, Forrest offers a precision table tracking option. This option replaces the casters and guide rollers on the guide rail only with precision linear bearings, providing a trueness of table travel of 0.002 inches per foot.

Our "heavy" saws replace the standard cantilever style table with a rail mounted table. The rail mounted table can support more weight and can be physically larger than the cantilever style. We can put a heavy style table on the Model 236, Model 204, or Model 230.
