Industries We Serve

Every industry faces challenges that cannot be solved with off-the-shelf equipment. Materials vary in density, size, and composition, and production demands shift from one application to the next. Without the right industrial bandsaws on the floor, manufacturers face slow throughput, inconsistent cuts, and costly material waste. Forrest Mfg. Co. builds standard and custom industrial bandsaws engineered to solve those problems across a wide range of industries.

With more than 60 years of experience as a bandsaw manufacturer, Forrest has designed and delivered industrial bandsaws to operations spanning dozens of sectors. Our machines cut low and medium-density materials, including foam, rubber, plastics, graphite, insulation, composite core materials, and more. Whatever your industry requires, we have likely cut your material before.

Industries Forrest Serves

Agriculture

Forrest industrial bandsaws cut resilient foam, rubber components, and plastic parts used in agricultural equipment manufacturing and packaging operations.

Automotive

From seat cushion foam to molded plastic trim and rubber gaskets, our vertical bandsaws and horizontal bandsaws deliver the precise, repeatable cuts that automotive suppliers demand on production lines.

Defense

Defense contractors rely on Forrest machines to cut technical ceramics, composite core materials including aluminum and Nomex honeycomb, and graphite fiber insulation used in aerospace and military applications.

Construction

Our industrial bandsaws and insulation equipment are the industry standard for cutting calcium silicate, mineral fiber, fiberglass, cellular glass, and aerogel insulation products used across commercial and industrial construction.

Electronics

Forrest machines cut graphite blocks for EDM applications, high-density tooling board, composite materials, and transparent acrylic and polycarbonate components used in electronics manufacturing.

Packaging

Our multi-blade bandsaws and block saws cut packing foams, viscoelastic memory foam, and other cushioning materials to size with speed and accuracy for high-volume packaging operations.

Plastics & Piping

Forrest bandsaws handle HDPE and LDPE pallets, double-wall corrugated pipe up to 84-inch diameter, heavy-wall pressure pipe up to 54-inch diameter, and intermediate bulk containers (IBCs).

Custom Solutions for Unique Requirements

If a standard machine does not fit your application, Forrest has the experience to build one that does. As a custom bandsaw manufacturer, we design modified and fully custom machines for unique material sizes, production line integrations, and specialized cutting profiles. Each industrial bandsaw includes dust collection ports compatible with our Model 989 Dust Collection System, keeping your workspace cleaner regardless of the industry you operate in.
