The Mafell Z 5 Ec 240V portable band saw delivers a 12 in. (305 mm) cutting depth for timber framing, renovation, and heavy woodworking applications. Powered by a 3.0 hp (2,250 W) high-output motor, this machine handles rip cuts, cross cuts, angled birdsmouths, compound miters, lap joints, and curved profiling in solid wood and laminated timber beams.

Designed for jobsite precision and control, the Z 5 Ec utilizes ball-bearing blade guidance to ensure straight, square tracking and clean cuts. The motor's cooling airflow is directed to clear dust and chips away from the cut line, maintaining an unobstructed view of the mark at all times. For specialized joinery, a unique tilting blade guide allows right-angle cuts up to 3 9/16 in. (90 mm) deep without the opposite side of the blade contacting the timber, making it ideal for cutting lapped joints.

Safety and operator convenience are integrated throughout the design. A mechanical safety brake stops the blade via the combined brake/off switch, while a voltage loss switch prevents unintentional restarting after power interruptions. Blade changes are fast and straightforward thanks to a spring-mounted, spring-tensioned idler wheel, and an included back-toothed blade enables easy retraction from kerfs during complex cuts.
