  • BRAND NEW ABRASIVE & FRICTION FOR SALE CURRENTLY IN STOCK
    ABRASIVE & FRICTION View Machines Also known as a cutoff saw or metal chop saw, is a power tool which is typically used to cut hard materials, such as metals. The cutting action is performed by an abrasive disc, similar to a thin grinding wheel. The saw generally has a built-in vise or other clamping arrangement and has the cutting wheel and motor mounted on a pivoting arm attached to a fixed base plate.
  • USED COLD & CARBIDE (CHOP SAW) FOR SALE CURRENTLY IN STOCK
    BRAND NEW COLD & CARBIDE (CHOP SAW) FOR SALE CURRENTLY IN STOCK
    COLD & CARBIDE (CHOP SAW) View Machines These machines transfer the heat generated by cutting to the chips created by the saw blade. Therefore, the blade and material being cut remain cold, unlike an abrasive saw, which abrades the metal and creates a great deal of heat in the metal and cutting blade. Cold saws use either a solid high speed steel (HSS) or tungsten carbide-tipped, resharpenable circular saw blade. They are equipped with an electric motor and a gear reduction unit to reduce the saw blade\'s rotational speed while maintaining constant torque. This allows the HSS saw blade to feed at a constant rate with a very high chip load per tooth.

    What is the Best Horizontal Bandsaw and What Are The Choices Between Manufacturer and Manual, Semi-Automatic and Automatic Operation.

    A Horizontal Bandsaw is a power tool used for cutting various materials, such as wood, metal, and plastic. It consists of a powered circular saw blade that is stretched between two wheels and mounted horizontally. 

    Horizontal Bandsaws are commonly used in woodworking, metalworking, and other industries where precise and efficient cutting is required. They offer advantages such as the ability to make straight cuts, cutting curves with a suitable blade, and the ability to cut thick materials. Horizontal bandsaws may not be as versatile as vertical bandsaws when it comes to intricate or curved cuts

    Key features and components important to consider when looking for a horizontal bandsaw:

    1. Frame: The bandsaw is typically built with a sturdy frame that supports the other components and provides stability during cutting.
    2. The worktable is the surface on which the material being cut is placed. It can usually be adjusted in height and angle to accommodate different cutting needs.
    3. The blade of a bandsaw is a continuous loop of toothed metal that is driven by the wheels. The blade can be replaced or adjusted to suit different materials and cutting requirements.
    4. There are usually two wheels in a horizontal bandsaw. One is powered and drives the blade, while the other acts as an idler wheel to keep tension on the blade.
    5. Guides are used to support and guide the blade during cutting. They help ensure accurate and straight cuts. Guides can be adjusted to accommodate different blade sizes and materials.
    6. The cutting capacity of a horizontal bandsaw refers to the maximum size of material it can cut. This is determined by the distance between the blade and the frame, known as the throat capacity.
    7. Horizontal bandsaws are typically powered by electric motors. They may have controls for adjusting blade speed, blade tension, and other cutting parameters.

    There are several Popular Brands known for manufacturing high-quality horizontal bandsaws.

    1. DoALL is a prominent manufacturer of industrial cutting tools, including horizontal bandsaws. They offer a wide range of models suitable for various applications and industries.
    2. Amada bandsaws are known for their precision, durability, and advanced features.
    3. Hyd-Mech produces a horizontal bandsaw designed for heavy-duty cutting applications. They are known for their robust construction and cutting accuracy.
    4. Marvel manufactures a comprehensive range of horizontal bandsaws that cater to diverse cutting needs. Their bandsaws are known for their reliability, efficiency, and innovative design features.
    5. Kalamazoo Industries specializes in manufacturing industrial-grade metal cutting machinery, including horizontal bandsaws. They offer a variety of models suitable for small to large-scale operations.

  • USED VERTICAL BANDSAW FOR SALE CURRENTLY IN STOCK
    BRAND NEW VERTICAL BANDSAW FOR SALE CURRENTLY IN STOCK
    VERTICAL BANDSAW View Machines Are particularly useful for cutting irregular shapes. The radius of a curve that can be cut on a particular saw is determined by the width of the band. A Cold Saw is a saw that uses a blade and coolant to make a cool clean cut, this application is good for materials that bend and warp from heat. These are great for single cuts or set up as an automatic cold saw it can cut thousands of pieces per day with only the touch of a button.

The Right Coldsaw, Horizontal Bandsaw and Vertical Bandsaws

There are many types of Metal Working Saws. A Metal cutting Bandsaw is a machine tool that consists of a continuous metal band with teeth running along its edge. The band is stretched between two wheels, and when the machine is turned on, the wheels rotate, causing the band to move in a continuous loop. This cutting action allows the bandsaw to make precise and curved cuts in various materials, including metals like steel, brass, aluminum, titanium, stainless steel and more.  There are specific blades for each material.

Types of Bandsaws:

Horizontal and Vertical Bandsaws differ as they are two different types of machine tools.  They are both used for cutting various materials such as metal, wood and plastic. The primary difference between them lies in the orientation of the blade, blade speeds and the position of the workpiece during cutting.

  1. A Horizontal Bandsaw has a horizontal blade orientation, meaning the cutting blade moves in a horizontal direction. The workpiece is typically clamped to a worktable or a vise, and the blade moves down onto the workpiece to make the cut. Horizontal bandsaws are commonly used for cutting larger and heavier materials, such as metal bars, pipes, and profiles. They are often found in metalworking shops, fabrication facilities, and construction sites.
  2. Vertical Bandsaws have a vertical blade orientation, where the blade moves up and down in a vertical motion. The workpiece is typically positioned vertically on a worktable or held in a vise, and the blade is lowered onto the workpiece for cutting. Vertical bandsaws are versatile tools and can be used for cutting various materials, including wood, metal, plastics, and composites. They are commonly used in woodworking shops, metalworking shops, and other manufacturing or fabrication environments.

COLD SAWS

A Cold Saw is a power tool used for cutting metal materials, such as steel, aluminum, and other non-ferrous metals. It is called a "cold" saw because it operates at a lower speed compared to other metal-cutting tools, which reduces heat generation during the cutting process. This helps to minimize the risk of workpiece deformation or damage due to excessive heat.

A typical cold saw consists of a circular saw blade, which is made of high-speed steel (HSS) or carbide, mounted on a spindle. The blade is designed with specially formulated teeth that are capable of making precise cuts through metal. The saw is usually operated with a coolant, such as oil or emulsion, to further dissipate heat and lubricate the cutting process.

Control the speed of the Blade

An important feature in metal working bandsaws is the ability to control the speed of the blade. Variable speed control, allows the operator to adjust the cutting speed to match the type of metal being cut and the desired cutting results.

Different types of metals require different cutting speeds to achieve optimal results. Softer metals like aluminum may require higher blade speeds, while harder metals like steel may require slower speeds. Having the ability to adjust the blade speed ensures that the bandsaw can effectively cut through a variety of metals with precision and efficiency.

Variable speed control also allows for greater control over the cutting process. It enables operators to make adjustments based on the thickness and density of the metal being cut, as well as the intricacy of the desired cuts. This feature is particularly important when working with more delicate or intricate metalwork, as it helps prevent damage or distortion to the workpiece.
