Description

The Kalamazoo K12-14W wet cutting saw handles the tough cuts that steel distributors, metal manufacturers, and custom metal casting shops deal with every day. Its 5HP motor drives a 14-inch abrasive wheel through mild steel, stainless, and cast iron — cutting solids up to 2.5″ and pipe up to 3″. The flood coolant system keeps cuts cool and clean, so samples come out ready for welding inspection without extra finishing work.

Two quick-release cam lock vises lock material down fast and hold it tight. Built from heavy-duty cast iron and steel, made in the USA, the K12-14W is a workhorse that earns its place on the shop floor.

Why the K12-14W Works Hard for You

The Kalamazoo K12-14W is a heavy-duty wet cutting saw built for shops that need clean, accurate cuts on steel and other tough metals day after day. With a powerful 5 HP motor, a built-in flood coolant system, and American-made construction, this machine handles the work that lesser saws can't. If your shop cuts, tests, or preps metal for any application, the K12-14W is ready to go.

5 HP Motor Cuts Through Anything

Slice through mild steel, stainless steel, and cast iron up to 2.5″ solid and 3″ pipe without bogging down or slowing your workflow.

Flood Coolant Keeps Cuts Clean

The 10-gallon flood coolant system pulls heat away fast, so you get smooth, burr-free cuts with no surface burning — critical for welding inspection and sample prep.

Dual Cam Lock Vises Hold Tight

Two quick-release cam lock vises grip your material securely so every cut is straight and repeatable — no slipping, no wasted stock.

Built to Handle Production Demands

Heavy-duty cast iron arm and steel base absorb vibration and hold up in demanding environments, from metal manufacturer floors to testing labs.

Adjustable Stop Controls Blade Position

The backstop controls how far the arm swings up — setting exactly how close the blade sits to your material before the cut stroke begins.

Made in the USA

Built in Kalamazoo, Michigan with quality materials and American craftsmanship — backed by a one-year parts warranty.
