Matador Free Standing Bone Saw JG400AH

The Matador JG400AH is a free standing bone saw built for volume: 5 to 270 mm cutting thickness, a 2850 x 16 x 0.5 mm blade and an 800 x 720 mm stainless steel work surface — roughly two and a half times the table area of the 300 model. A blade scraper keeps the blade clear through a long run. It needs a 415 V three-phase supply and weighs 142 kg.

Why operators choose the JG400AH

• 800 x 720 mm work surface — around two and a half times the table area of the JG300AH. On bone-in primals the table is what limits you, not the blade
• Cutting thickness 5 to 270 mm — 70 mm more than the smaller model, which is the difference between portioning and breaking down a whole primal
• 2850 x 16 x 0.5 mm blade — a stated blade specification, so replacements are ordered against a known size
• Blade scraper fitted — it keeps fat and bone residue off the blade through a long cutting run, which is what maintains a clean cut and blade life
• Stainless steel working surface — washes down properly, which on a bone saw is not optional
• Metal finished machine body — built for a wet, heavy-duty butchery environment
• 415 V three-phase — the capability comes with a real electrical requirement - settle the circuit before ordering, unlike the 10 A JG300AH
• 1775 mm high, 142 kg — a substantial standalone machine, stable under load on a primal

Specifications

Venue suitability

The JG400AH suits butchers, abattoirs, smallgoods producers and wholesale operations breaking down primals rather than portioning. The 800 x 720 mm table and 270 mm cut depth are what separate it from the smaller model — as is the three-phase supply it needs.

Installation & delivery

This is a three-phase appliance and must be hard-wired by a licensed electrician — it will not run from any power point. 415 V three-phase plus neutral at 1.5 kW; our data records no amperage, so your electrician will size the circuit. At 142 kg and 1775 mm high it is a multi-person placement on a level floor — check the delivery route against the 580 x 900 x 1930 mm packed size. Confirm the guarding and interlock specification with us before you order: our product data itemises safety features for the smaller JG300AH but not for this model, and on a bone saw that is not something to assume.

Frequently asked questions

Q: What safety features does the JG400AH have?

We are not going to list any, because our product data does not itemise them for this model - and on a bone saw that is exactly the sort of thing we will not assume. Its smaller JG300AH sibling records a door safety switch, a 0.2-second emergency button and overheat protection; this listing records none of them. That does not mean they are absent, it means they are unrecorded. Ask our team to confirm the guarding and interlock specification before you order.

Q: How does it compare with the JG300AH?

Scale and supply. The work surface is 800 x 720 mm against 530 x 430 mm, cutting thickness goes to 270 mm against 200 mm, and the blade is 2850 mm against 2040 mm. It also needs 415 V three-phase where the JG300AH runs from a 10 A outlet, and it weighs 142 kg against 62 kg.

Q: What does the blade scraper do?

It keeps fat and bone residue off the blade as it runs. On a long cutting session that is what maintains a clean cut and extends blade life - the smaller model does not list one.

Q: What blade does it take?

2850 x 16 x 0.5 mm.

Q: What electrical supply does it need?

415 V three-phase plus neutral at 1.5 kW, hard-wired by a licensed electrician. Our data records no amperage, so your electrician sizes the circuit from the kW figure.

Q: What warranty does the JG400AH come with?

Covered for 1 year on parts and labour. Terms vary by product — see our warranty information page for full details.
