1. 130-Inch Blade Length
The 130-inch blade length is matched to the Baileigh BS-300 configuration, providing proper fit and continuous loop operation around the machine's wheels.
2. 1-Inch Blade Width
The 1-inch blade width provides a stable cutting path and helps maintain blade rigidity during straight metal-cutting operations.
3. Designed for Metal Cutting
This blade configuration is intended for horizontal metal bandsaw applications, including cutting common metals and stock materials in fabrication and workshop environments.
4. Stable Blade Tracking
A correctly sized blade works with the saw's guide system to maintain consistent tracking and reduce unwanted blade movement during cutting.
5. Suitable for Multiple Cutting Applications
Selecting the appropriate tooth pitch allows the blade to be used for different material thicknesses, from smaller sections to heavier metal stock.
6. Supports Controlled Cutting
The Baileigh BS-300 operates at multiple blade speeds, allowing operators to select a suitable cutting rate for different metals and applications.
7. Compatible with Coolant-Assisted Cutting
The BS-300 features a flood coolant system. Using a suitable metal-cutting blade with coolant can help manage heat, flush chips from the cut, and improve blade service life.
8. Designed for Straight and Miter Cuts
The machine's mitering vise supports angled cuts up to 45°. A properly selected blade helps maintain cutting consistency during both straight and angled operations.
9. Reduced Vibration Potential
The 1-inch blade width offers good rigidity for horizontal metal cutting, helping support smooth operation when the blade is correctly tensioned and guided.
10. Application-Focused Blade Selection
For the best results, blade tooth count and tooth geometry should be selected according to the material type, thickness, and desired finish rather than blade width and length alone.
