209.85-Inch Blade Length
The Baileigh BS-24A uses a 209.85-inch bandsaw blade. Correct blade length is essential for proper installation, tensioning, tracking, and reliable operation on this large industrial bandsaw.
1.5-Inch Blade Width
This blade specification uses a 1.5-inch blade width, providing the rigidity and stability required for heavy-duty straight cutting applications and large metal workpieces.
Designed for Metal Cutting
The Baileigh BS-24A is built for industrial metal cutting, making the compatible blade suitable for fabrication, structural metalworking, production cutting, and other demanding applications.
Heavy-Duty Straight Cutting
The wide 1.5-inch blade provides excellent lateral stability for straight cuts. This makes the blade well suited to large bars, tubes, structural sections, and other substantial metal stock.
Variable-Speed Cutting Compatibility
The BS-24A operates with a variable blade-speed range of approximately 65 to 279 FPM. Adjustable speed allows operators to select suitable cutting conditions based on the material, blade tooth configuration, and workpiece size.
Automatic Machine Operation
The BS-24A is a fully automatic bandsaw designed to manage material feeding, clamping, cutting operations, and bow return. A properly matched blade helps support consistent performance during automated production cycles.
Hydraulic Dual-Clamp System
The machine features hydraulic horizontal and vertical clamps designed to secure individual workpieces or bundles of material. Stable material clamping helps reduce movement and supports consistent blade engagement.
Quick-Tension Blade System
The BS-24A incorporates a liquid-filled quick-tension device to assist with proper blade setup. Correct blade tension helps maintain tracking, cutting accuracy, and blade stability.
Automatic Blade Protection
The machine includes automatic broken-blade shut-off functionality. This helps stop machine operation if a blade failure occurs, providing an additional level of protection during automated cutting.
High-Capacity Cutting
The BS-24A provides substantial cutting capacity, including an 18-inch round capacity at 90° and a rectangular capacity of up to 15 x 24 inches. The compatible wide blade is designed for the demands of these larger cutting applications.
45-Degree Miter Cutting
The saw head can be positioned for miter cuts from 0° to 45°. A suitable 1.5-inch blade can provide the stability needed for angled cutting of larger metal sections.
Industrial Production Applications
The blade is suitable for demanding environments such as metal fabrication facilities, manufacturing plants, structural steel shops, engineering workshops, and production cutting operations.
Chip Management System
The BS-24A includes a powered hydraulic chip auger to help remove chips and debris from the cutting area. Effective chip management can contribute to cleaner operation and improved cutting conditions.
Professional Blade Performance
When properly selected for the material and tooth configuration, a compatible 209.85-inch bandsaw blade can provide consistent cutting performance, dependable tracking, and long-term service in demanding industrial environments.
