162.59-Inch Blade Length
The Baileigh BS-20A uses a 162.59-inch bandsaw blade. The correct blade length ensures proper installation and allows the blade to be tensioned and tracked correctly for consistent cutting performance.
1-Inch Blade Width
This specification uses a 1-inch-wide bandsaw blade, providing a balance of rigidity, cutting stability, and maneuverability for demanding metal-cutting applications.
Designed for Metal Cutting
The blade is designed for the metal-cutting application of the Baileigh BS-20A. Depending on the material and cutting requirements, an appropriate bi-metal or carbide-tipped blade can be selected.
Heavy-Duty Industrial Cutting
The 1-inch blade width provides suitable stability for straight cutting of large metal workpieces, including bars, tubes, structural sections, and other fabrication materials.
Variable-Speed Compatibility
The BS-20A operates with a variable blade-speed range of approximately 89 to 256 FPM. Variable speed allows operators to adjust cutting conditions according to the material, blade tooth configuration, and workpiece requirements.
Fully Automatic Operation
The BS-20A is designed for automated production cutting, controlling material clamping, cutting, bow return, and length feeding. A properly matched blade supports consistent cutting cycles and repeatable production results.
Hydraulic Clamping and Bundling
The machine features hydraulic vices designed to securely hold individual workpieces or bundles of material. Proper clamping helps minimize movement and supports accurate blade engagement.
Precision Blade Tensioning
A visual blade tension device assists operators in establishing appropriate blade tension. Correct tension helps maintain blade tracking, stability, and cutting consistency.
Automatic Blade Shut-Off
The BS-20A incorporates automatic blade shut-off functionality in the event of blade breakage. This feature helps protect the machine and supports safer automated operation.
45-Degree Miter Cutting
The swivel head provides mitering capability up to 45 degrees, allowing the machine to perform angled cuts for fabrication and structural metalworking applications.
Large Cutting Capacity
The machine provides a 13-inch round cutting capacity and a 13 x 18-inch rectangular capacity at 90 degrees, making it suitable for substantial metal workpieces.
Heavy-Duty Material Handling
The BS-20A includes high-capacity hydraulic bundling vices and material handling tables designed to support heavy workpieces. Stable material support helps maintain consistent cutting conditions.
Integrated Coolant System
The industrial coolant system helps control heat during cutting and assists in removing chips from the blade and work area. Proper coolant use can help improve blade performance and service life.
Production-Ready Performance
The Baileigh BS-20A is designed for high-efficiency industrial production environments. A properly selected 162.59-inch bandsaw blade can provide reliable performance across repeated metal-cutting cycles.
