Baileigh BS-712M 7" × 10" Geared Head Horizontal / Vertical Band Saw
Are you working in a smaller shop space that needs a band saw capable of both horizontal cutoff work and vertical contour cutting on standard household current?
What if one compact machine handled steel, aluminum, and other metals in two cutting orientations with three selectable blade speeds and hydraulic descent?
Meet the Baileigh BS-712M, a 7-inch by 10-inch geared head horizontal and vertical band saw built for fabrication shops, maintenance departments, and professional workspaces where versatility and compact size both matter.
With the BS-712M, you get a 1 HP gear-driven motor on 120V single-phase power, three blade speeds, hydraulic descent, and a heavy cast iron bow that keeps the machine stable during cutting.
When the BS-712M is set up for your job, you get accurate cuts in both horizontal and vertical mode with a machine that fits smaller shops without giving up the features that matter for daily metal cutting work.
Baileigh BS-712M for Horizontal and Vertical Metal Band Saw Cutting
Dual Cutting Orientation Handles Cutoff and Contour Work
The BS-712M operates in both horizontal cutoff and vertical contour cutting modes, giving one machine the range to handle two distinct types of metal cutting work. Horizontal mode suits standard cutoff work on pipe, bar, and structural shapes. Vertical mode opens up contour cutting and irregular profile work that a dedicated cutoff saw cannot handle. This dual orientation reduces the need for a second machine in shops where both cutting types come up regularly.
Three Selectable Blade Speeds Match Cutting Rate to the Material
The BS-712M offers three blade speeds — 125, 215, and 270 FPM — so operators can set the right cutting rate for the material at hand. Slower speeds suit harder metals and heavier cross sections where blade life and cut finish are the priority. Faster speeds move efficiently through aluminum and lighter stock. The gear drive delivers consistent torque across all three speed settings, keeping blade performance steady through the full range of materials the saw handles in daily shop use.
Hydraulic Descent Control and Cast Iron Bow Deliver Accurate Cuts
The hydraulic descent system controls blade feed pressure through the cut for a smooth, consistent result from start to finish. The heavy cast iron bow reduces vibration during cutting, which directly affects cut accuracy and surface finish on cut ends. Together, these two features keep the BS-712M stable and controlled on horizontal cutoff work where consistent feed pressure and a rigid bow are the primary factors in cut quality and blade wear.
Miter Vise and Flood Coolant Support Everyday Shop Cutting
The vise miters up to 45 degrees for angled cuts without repositioning material, covering the common miter cuts that come up in fabrication and maintenance work. Round capacity at 90 degrees is 7 inches, and rectangular capacity is 7 inches by 10.23 inches. The integrated flood coolant system reduces heat at the blade and clears chips from the cut zone, extending blade life and keeping cut surfaces clean through extended daily use on a variety of metal stock.
