About Eastwood Part of the DIY community since 1978, attending car shows, listening to customers, and seeing first-hand how our products are used to produce a vehicle our customers are proud ofOffering “solutions” which combines our 4,000+ unique products with the know-how to “Do The Job Right”In-house product design, development, and testing with a strong track record of high-quality, innovative products Like a lot of high school kids, Curt Strohacker worked in a service station to earn some spending cash, but he also repaired cars in his free time, buying and selling countless vehicles, and learning valuable lessons about restoration. As the market for automotive refurbishing began to take off in the 1970s, Curt realized that proper tools and techniques could save enthusiasts like him time and money. So in the fall of 1978, Curt launched a business to better serve the burgeoning market of auto restoration and customization hobbyists, and he called it Eastwood. Since its inception, Eastwood recognizes that change constantly takes place in the marketplace, and so strives to stay abreast of these developments by placing customers' wants and needs at the forefront. In recent years, the market for automotive hobbyists has expanded beyond the "classics", and Eastwood has seen increased requests for products geared towards muscle cars, street rods, trucks, and motorcycles. The explosion of the sport tuner hobby has demanded products that emphasize ease-of-use and variety, as customizers strive to make their vehicles truly unique. In response, the company has continued to be an industry pioneer, adding innovative, high-quality products to its line.

THE EASTWOOD BENCHTOP METAL CUTTING BANDSAW FEATURES: Fast, accurate cuts in a variety of materialsPowerful, variable speed 1000 watt motorPistol grip handle and speed control triggerMake perfect miter cuts from 90° to 45°Thin, exact cuts with a narrow kerfBuilt-in clamp for material up to 3.25in thickStop bar for repeatedly cutting the same size It is possible to use a cut-off wheel, angle grinder, reciprocating saw, or even a hacksaw to cut tubing when fabricating. But each of those methods are sloppy, inaccurate, slow, or all three. This bench top electric band saw makes perfectly clean, exact cuts in various materials up to 3 1/4 inch wide. The angle of the cut can be adjusted accurately from 90° to 45° with a built in pivot clamp and markings on the table. A stop bar and material clamp also makes it easy to set up and make multiple cuts of exactly the same length. The thin nature of a band saw blade means a narrower kerf compared to a cut off wheel or circular saw, so positioning the cut in the material for the exact right length is easier. The fact that a band saw moves in just one direction, unlike a hacksaw or Saw-zall, means less chance of the cut position changing as you work through the material. Its compact bench top design makes it easy to store on a shelf or under a work bench when not in use. With a 1000 watt motor and variable speed piston grip it’s easy to cut through nearly steel or aluminum, even solid blocks.
