Baileigh BS-916M 9" × 16" Horizontal Band Saw
Are you running a small to medium fabrication shop or maintenance department that needs reliable horizontal band saw performance on single-phase power?
What if your saw gave you four selectable blade speeds, hydraulic descent control, and a patented blade tension device in a compact, rigid package?
Meet the Baileigh BS-916M, a 9-inch by 16-inch horizontal band saw built for shops cutting structural stock, pipe, angle, and channel on 240V single-phase power.
With the BS-916M, you get a 1.5 HP motor, four blade speeds from 82 to 235 FPM, hydraulic bow descent, and a cast iron head on a fully welded steel base.
When the BS-916M is set up for your material, you get clean, accurate cuts with a machine built to hold up to repeated daily use in compact shop environments.
Baileigh BS-916M for Compact Single-Phase Horizontal Band Saw Cutting
Four Blade Speeds Match Cutting Rate to the Material
The BS-916M offers four selectable blade speeds — 82, 132, 170, and 235 FPM — so operators can match the cutting rate to the material and wall thickness at hand. Slower speeds suit harder metals and solid bar where blade life and cut finish are the priority. Faster speeds move efficiently through pipe, angle, and lighter structural stock. Roller blade guides support stable tracking across all four speed settings, keeping cut quality consistent through the full range of materials the saw handles.
Hydraulic Descent Control Delivers Smooth, Consistent Feed
The hydraulically controlled bow descent manages blade feed pressure through the cut for a smooth, even result from start to finish. Consistent descent rate keeps blade load steady across the full cross section of the material, which directly affects cut surface quality and blade wear over time. In shops cutting a variety of stock types throughout the day, hydraulic descent removes the variability that comes with manual feed and keeps results repeatable between operators and between jobs.
Cast Iron Head and Welded Steel Base Reduce Vibration
The cast iron head mounted on a fully welded steel base keeps the BS-916M rigid and stable during cutting. This construction reduces the vibration that affects cut accuracy and surface finish, particularly on structural shapes and solid bar where blade load is highest. The compact footprint makes the BS-916M well suited for smaller shop spaces without sacrificing the rigidity needed for dependable accuracy on daily production cutting.
Patented Blade Tension Device and Flood Coolant Support Daily Use
The patented blade tension device provides a clear reference for setting correct blade tension, reducing setup time and the risk of running a blade at the wrong tension that shortens its service life. The standard flood coolant system reduces heat at the blade during cutting and washes chips away from the cut zone, keeping blade performance consistent and cut surfaces clean through extended daily use. Both features contribute to lower blade costs and less downtime in a working shop environment.
