Sawing Systems

A review of some of the latest technologies in sawing systems that can reduce your operating costs, improve your part quality, and increase your shop profitability.

Posted: October 29, 2013

The RingSaw™ from Graebener-Reika is capable of cutting tubes, bars, and profiles with diameters ranging from 10 mm to 610 mm, and wall thickness from 1 mm to 150 mm. The machine is operated electro-mechanically without hydraulics, and is therefore oil free. The cutting process is either dry, with a mini-coolant, or with flood emulsion.

Review the technical details of each sawing system by clicking on the respective titles listed below:

Fully Automatic Feed Circular Cold Saw Miters Ferrous, Non-ferrous Metals
The VMS 370A from Behringer Saws is integrated with an automatic feeding unit to provide full automatic feeding functionality which saves on cycle time and assures efficient use of material.

Utility Band Saw Cuts Tubing, Solid Material, Structural Iron at Affordable Price
The SU-280 from Scotchman includes a single mitering head capable of producing 90 deg, 45 deg, and 30 deg cuts, a quick action locking vise, and carbide blade guides with roller supports.

Semi-Automatic Band Saw Cuts Heavy Duty Beams, Channel, Angle, Solids
The Terminator DCM 18/25 dual column band saw from Ocean Machinery uses a 1 1/2 in blade that miters to 60 deg in both directions.

Cold Saw Revolutionizes Pipe Cutting for OCTG and Other Industries
RingSaw machines from Graebener-Reika rotate the blade by turning the outside diameter and the enlarged center hole is for cutting instead of the traditional spindle design. This innovation leads to a reduction in tool costs by 50 to 80 percent while at the same time increasing performance by 30 to 60 percent.

Dry Cutting Miter Saws Steel, Stainless, Aluminum and Other Non-ferrous Metals, Plastics, Composites
The Model 9410 ND portable, dry cutting miter saw from CS Unitec makes metal cuts up to 4 in deep and is the only metal cutting machine on the market with stepless adjustments from -45 deg to + 45 deg.

High Production Bandsaw Cuts Bars, Pipes with Reduced Vibration
The HBP-610A bandsaw from Behringer Saws was developed for the U.S. market to enable automated bandsawing of pipes from 0.75 in to 24 in in diameter.

Non-ferrous Upcut Saw Offers Increased Cutting Capacity
The new SUP-500 NF from Scotchman is an Upcut Circular Cold Saw uses a 20 in carbide blade designed specifically for cutting non-ferrous material up to 7 in diameter and rectangular cuts up to 11.75 in x 5 in.

Bandsawing Calculator Measures Baseline Sawing Performance Financially
The SnapShot Bandsawing Calculator from Simonds International is a data-driven Microsoft Excel tool that identifies and measures the impact of improved productivity and performance on day-to-day bandsawing operations and their effect on profitability.

Dry Cutter Circular Saw Cuts Steel, Sandwich Panels, Conduit, Metal Pipe and More
The 8320 BigSaw2 Super Hand Dry Cutter 12 3/4 in diameter circular saw from CS Unitec is the largest metal cold cutting saw on the market. The saw’s powerful 16 amp motor delivers a free cutting speed of 1400 rpm and features motor overload protection to prevent motor burnout.
