Baileigh BS-24A 18" Automatic Band Saw
Are you running a high-volume cutting operation where repeatability and throughput are the standard your shop is held to?
What if your horizontal band saw could handle 18-inch round stock and 24-inch by 15-inch rectangular material on fully automatic cycles, shift after shift?
Meet the Baileigh BS-24A, an 18-inch automatic horizontal band saw built for production fabrication shops, manufacturing facilities, and steel service centers that cut heavy stock at volume.
With the BS-24A, you get a 5 HP Delta inverter-driven motor on 220V 3-phase power, hydraulic feed and clamping, and variable blade speed from 65 to 279 FPM on a fully welded steel frame with a cast iron bow.
When the BS-24A is running your production line, you get consistent, accurate cuts on heavy round and structural material with minimal operator involvement between pieces.
Baileigh BS-24A for High-Volume Automatic Structural Metal Cutting
Delta Inverter-Driven Motor Delivers Consistent Cutting Torque
The BS-24A is powered by a 5 HP Delta inverter-driven motor on 220V 3-phase power. The inverter drive delivers controlled torque across the full blade speed range, which reduces stress on the blade and maintains cutting performance through heavy round and structural stock. This motor setup suits facilities where the saw runs extended shifts and consistent output matters as much as raw cutting speed.
Hydraulic Feed and Clamp System Automates the Full Cut Cycle
The hydraulic feed and clamping system handles material advance, workholding, cutting, and return without operator input between cycles. Descent is controlled by a pressure-assist hydraulic system that manages blade load through the cut. The hydraulic chip auger clears chips from the cutting zone automatically, keeping the work area clear and protecting blade life through long production runs.
Variable Blade Speed Adapts to Material and Alloy
Blade speed adjusts from 65 to 279 FPM to match the material being cut. Slower speeds protect blade life on harder alloys and heavy solid bar, while faster speeds move efficiently through softer stock and thin-wall material. Carbide and roller blade guides support stable tracking across the full speed range. This flexibility lets one machine handle a wider variety of material without swapping setups between jobs.
Welded Steel Frame and Cast Iron Bow Reduce Vibration
The fully welded steel base and cast iron bow work together to keep the machine stable during cutting. Reduced vibration directly improves cut accuracy and surface finish on cut ends, which matters in facilities where parts move directly from the saw to the next operation. The BS-24A is rated to a 3,960 lb. load capacity, reflecting the structural integrity built into the frame for continuous heavy-duty use.
