Description:
Inland DFS-100 ReefKeeper
Band Saw.
The ReefKeeper Bandsaw DFS-100 from Inland is a workhorse coral cutting
machine. The robust Inland Bandsaw has seen many miles of cutting
limestone and coral skeletons in every corner of the country and now the
machine is getting outfitted for maritime use. Whereas the previous
model was designed primarily for cutting glass, the new DFS-100
ReefKeeper Band Saw features nearly all thermoplastic housing and it
ships with a diamond coated saw blade. The blade guide is an all
plastic, replaceable BladeSert that can be replaced for maximum
performance so you can cut up every single last corallite of that Acan
lord colony you just bought. Like before, the ReefKeeper Band Saw
carries an active water cooling system that funnels water onto the cut
to keep things clean, clear and visible.

Reduced Heat Transfer Yields More Viable Frags
Heat is the enemy when cutting corals; it destroys tissue and
seriously affects viability, especially with sensitive species like
chalice corals. The DFS-100 ReefKeeper Saw employs a continuously cooled
narrow diamond blade to dramatically reduce heat transfer to the
delicate tissue when cutting. Less heat means more viable frags can
become healthy colonies to swap or sell.
*
Clearance to Handle Larger Specimens
Saw through materials as tall as 3 1/2" - something you can't do
with cut-ff wheels, tile saws, or any other band saw. So go ahead,
tackle that Tubastrea or Favites or any large specimen with confidence.
*
Narrow Cutting Path
Rotary tools and tile saws plow a wide swath through your valuable
stock. The narrow diamond blade of the DFS-100 ReefKeeper Saw is
removing the least possible amount of material as it cuts, resulting in
less waste—up to three times less!
