153-Inch Blade Length
The Baileigh BSV-20VS uses a 153-inch bandsaw blade. Correct blade length is essential for proper installation, tensioning, tracking, and safe operation.
Wide Blade Compatibility
The machine accommodates blades from 1/8 inch to 3/4 inch wide. Narrower blades can be selected for intricate contour cutting, while wider blades provide additional stability for straight and heavier cuts.
Designed for Metal Cutting
This blade specification is intended for the metal-cutting application of the BSV-20VS. Depending on the material being cut, users can select an appropriate bi-metal or carbide-tipped blade.
Variable-Speed Cutting
The BSV-20VS offers a broad blade-speed range of approximately 65 to 1,640 FPM. Variable speed allows the operator to match cutting speed to the material and blade type.
Suitable for Contour Cutting
The vertical design and wide blade compatibility make the BSV-20VS suitable for contour and intricate metal-cutting applications. Narrower blades are generally preferred when tighter curves are required.
Integrated Blade Welder
The machine incorporates a built-in blade welder, allowing blades to be prepared for specialized internal cutting applications and repaired when appropriate.
Integrated Blade Grinder
The integrated grinder works alongside the blade welder to help finish welded blade joints and prepare blades for use.
Precision Blade Control
Properly adjusted blade guides help maintain blade alignment and stability during cutting. Correct guide positioning can reduce unwanted blade movement and improve cut consistency.
Digital Speed Readout
A digital readout allows operators to monitor blade speed and make more precise adjustments for different cutting requirements.
Heavy-Duty Construction
The BSV-20VS uses a heavy steel frame designed to minimize vibration during demanding metal-cutting operations, helping provide a stable cutting platform.
Tilting Cast-Iron Table
The cast-iron work table provides a rigid surface for supporting workpieces and includes adjustment features for specialized cutting applications.
Air Blowdown System
An integrated air blowdown system helps clear chips from the cutting area and can assist with blade cooling during operation.
The specified standard blade length for the Baileigh BSV-20VS is 153 inches.
The machine supports blade widths from 1/8 inch to 3/4 inch (0.125 to 0.75 inch).
For metal cutting, a suitable bi-metal or carbide-tipped bandsaw blade can be selected based on the material, thickness, and cutting application.
Yes. The BSV-20VS is designed for metal-cutting applications and can be equipped with an appropriate blade for steel and other metals.
A wider blade, such as 1/2 or 3/4 inch, generally offers greater stability for straight cuts, provided it is appropriate for the machine and application.
A narrower blade, such as 1/8 or 1/4 inch, is generally more suitable for tighter curves and intricate contour work.
The BSV-20VS has a variable blade-speed range of approximately 65 to 1,640 FPM.
Yes. The machine includes an integrated blade welder for preparing blades for internal cutting and other specialized applications.
Yes. An integrated grinder is included to help finish and smooth welded blade joints.
The BSV-20VS uses a 2 HP motor.
The supplied specifications list a 220V, single-phase electrical configuration.
The throat depth is approximately 20 inches, with listed specifications ranging from about 19.625 to 20.5 inches.
The maximum cutting thickness is approximately 12.4 to 12.59 inches, depending on the specification or configuration referenced.
Use the correct blade type and TPI for the material, maintain proper tension and tracking, select an appropriate cutting speed, and avoid excessive feed pressure.
Choose TPI according to material thickness. Fewer TPI are generally preferred for thicker materials, while more TPI are generally suitable for thinner materials and finer cuts.
