Description
Crooked cut lines and manual bow lifting fatigue metal fabricators when cutting structural tubing on basic manual bandsaws. The Baileigh BS-250M Horizontal Band Saw single mitering unit delivers controlled metal division via a hydraulic downfeed cylinder and cast iron bow. Moving this seven-hundred-pound machine across gravel construction sites demands heavy forklift equipment or crane straps.
A massive cast iron saw head pivots on hardened steel trunnion pins, damping severe vibration when cutting structural tubing and solid shafts. The 1.5 HP motor transfers drive torque through a four-speed step pulley and an industrial oil-bath worm gear reduction drive. Tungsten carbide blade guide blocks combine with ball bearings to keep the one-inch bi-metal band tracking straight, while a hydraulic downfeed cylinder regulates descent speed through tough alloys.
Single Mitering Metal Bandsaw Parameters
Structural fabrication shops demand dead-square cuts across solid alloy bars without continuous operator supervision. Built-in flood coolant systems wash hot swarf away from tooth gullets to prolong expensive band life.
- 1.5 HP electric motor runs on 110-volt single-phase power to deliver continuous cutting torque
- Four blade speeds of 82, 132, 180, and 235 feet per minute match specific alloy cutting speeds
- 9-inch round and 9×10-inch rectangular cut envelope accommodates large structural beam profiles
- Miter-swivel bow swings up to sixty degrees to execute accurate frame angles without moving stock
- Hydraulic downfeed cylinder provides micro-metric descent control to prevent blade tooth breakage
- Built-in flood coolant pump flushes hot metal chips from the cut kerf to maximize blade longevity
- Automatic shutoff limit switch cuts motor power the instant the bow completes the downward cut
Bench Load Telemetry Amperage Draw
Motor draw measures 5.4 amps at idle on 110-volt line feeds. Sectioning four-inch solid 1045 steel bar at 132 feet per minute elevates continuous current draw to 12.8 amps while band speed remains rock steady. Hydraulic descent controls hold head drop rates within three thousandths of an inch per second. Operating sound levels hold at 71 dBA, ensuring a quiet working environment in busy production shops.
Field Service Trade-Offs Application Filter
Do not use this heavy machine for thin sheet metal contouring or woodworking scroll operations. Operators who lower the heavy bow onto steel stock without opening the hydraulic cylinder strip blade teeth instantly. Empty and scrub metal swarf out of the coolant pump tank once each month. Check worm gear oil levels through the sight plug every two hundred hours of runtime. Clean steel shavings out of the blade guide bearings at the end of each shift.
Warranty Protection Standard Package Items
A 1-Year limited warranty covers casting soundness, gearbox parts, and electrical motor switches. The shipment includes the single-mitering bandsaw, floor stand, bi-metal bandsaw blade, flood coolant pump system, material stop rod, and operational tool kit.
