The CX116 is a compact metal-cutting band saw built for controlled, repeatable cutting across a range of common shop applications. Its swivel head allows angled cuts, while the rigid vise holds the workpiece securely during operation.

A hydraulic down feed system helps provide smooth, consistent cutting pressure and includes automatic shut-off for added convenience. Adjustable blade guides, a work stop, and large adjustment knobs make setup straightforward, while the heavy-duty cast iron base provides a stable foundation during cutting.

For easier movement around the shop, the CX116 includes two heavy-duty wheels and a carrying handle. Like other Craftex CX-Series machines, it features durable powder-coated paint, a two-tone finish, and a 3-year warranty.
