Cutting through rebar, steel pipe, and other metal materials is almost effortless with this industrial-grade band saw. A robust hydraulic system helps control the vise and bow height, while fully-sealed bearings serve as blade guides to ensure accurate cuts. Our tool experts recommend looking for a band saw made from durable and lightweight materials. Some models also feature programmable features for repetitive work. If you are cutting a large amount of metal, an industrial band saw is the best choice. These machines are capable of cutting large beams, structural steel, bundles of square tubing, and other heavier materials. They can handle a lot of material and increase your production rates.

A circulating coolant system keeps the blade and material cool during cutting. A bandsaw can cut a variety of materials, including high-strength and hard-to-machine metals. When cutting these types of metals, it is important to have a good supply of top-quality blades. Dull tools quickly heat up and cause friction, which can reduce tool life and result in poor surface finish. A delivery system for high-pressure coolant addresses these issues, keeping the blade cooler and extending its life. This also helps with preventing thermal cracking and deformation. For example, DL200 band saw uses water cooling system during cutting, and equipped with German blades so that it has a longer life-span than similar saws in the market.

The blades of an industrial band saw machine cut flat materials into a variety of shapes. They’re useful for cutting metals, including high-strength and hard to machine metals that require a higher feed rate and lower tool temperature. To address these issues, a delivery of high-pressure coolant is needed to prevent thermal cracking and deformation during the cutting process. The type of blade you choose depends on the material you’re cutting, and determining the proper tooth pitch (TPI) is important for your application. The more teeth per inch on your blade, the slower your feed rate will be and the smoother your cut will be. Typical band saw blades feature hooked teeth, but you can also use grit edge or slicing types. You can also opt for a bi-metal blade that uses two different metals, primarily high-strength steel and spring steel, to increase your efficiency in the shop and extend the life of your blades.
