A debut machine that will be featured by Revolution Machine Tools in their booth at the 2025 FABTECH show is their new S-FAB VDM 18-18 vertical bandsaw, a tilt-frame, double miter, semi-automatic metal-cutting marvel. This machine represents RMT’s entry into the vertical bandsaw market, building on their experience with horizontal models. This vertical saw emphasizes efficiency, precision, and versatility in metal cutting applications.

If you’ve ever been shopping for metal fabrication equipment and looked across the listings from Revolution Machine Tools (RMT), you may have been a bit perplexed by some of the model-numbering nomenclature.

From the beginning of the company, the founders of RMT, now a leader in the fabrication and metalworking industry, decided to create a streamlined (and unified) system of identifying different levels of machinery throughout most of their major equipment lines.

Bandsaws are essential tools in metal fabrication, known for their ability to produce accurate and consistent cuts across a variety of metal types. However, the quality of the cut and the overall efficiency of the operation depend heavily on the choice of blade. Selecting the right bandsaw blade is crucial for optimal performance, and this decision involves understanding the different blade types specifically engineered for metal cutting and the factors that determine their suitability for specific applications.
