"We have had a smaller metal band saw for approximately 10 years. It would not cut square either vertically or horizontally. I became so disgusted with it that we began looking for a better saw. After checking with several companies we decided on the Baileigh BS-260M which we purchased February 21, 2007. For our small Iron Works company the Baileigh saw represented a major investment but one of our best. After our son used the saw the first day it became our primary saw for the shop, the cut-off saw hardly gets used now. All the controls are very convenient and it is so nice to be able to move the saw head and not the work for angle cuts. WHAT A GREAT SAW!"

  • Cast iron saw head provides rigidity and swivels in two directions (dual mitering), 0-60 degrees (R) and 0-45 degrees (L)
  • Direct gear drive helps extend saw blade life, and allows saw head to make more accurate cuts and cut faster.
  • Dual descent modes: 1 -Manual descent mode is operated by pulling down on handle and actuating trigger switch. 2- Hydraulic descent feed can be adjusted by operator.
  • Powerful coolant pump cools blade, assists chip removal system, and extends blade life. We recommend using an petroleum based or synthetic based coolant that you would typically mix with a 1 to 10 ratio (coolant to water). This type of coolant can be purchased at any local industrial supplier.
  • Broken blade tension devise shuts down machine if blade breaks.

The gear driven BS-260M is a 9" Band Saw and is the perfect saw for cutting at 90 degrees or miter angles. This saw has a dual angle head capable of cutting 0-60 degrees (R) and 0-45 (L), making it one of the most versatile saws on the market. Quick releases allow the operator to change the miter angle in seconds. Each gear driven metal cutting band saw we offer has variable speed, miter heads, and a hydraulic controlled descent devise for perfect feeds and longer blade life. This machine ships with a quality blade that is 97" long. It is recommended that you use quality saw blades purchased by reputable manufacturers like Lenox®, Starrett® or Wikus®. Our band saws are constructed of a heavy cast iron saw head and base and the blades are guided via a tungsten carbide insert offering rigidity and accuracy. Each band saw has a powerful coolant system and a broken blade tensioning devise that shuts down the machine if the blade breaks. This is the perfect band saw for cutting solids, tube or pipe, angle iron and much more. These mitering saws are great for cutting ferrous and non-ferrous metals such as aluminum, mild steel, stainless steel, chromoly or brass.

This series of band saw offers two cutting functions: 1- Manual descent for small production runs. The operator simply turns on the machine via a trigger switch in the descent handle, and manually guides the band saw blade through the material. Perfect for the small or medium sized fabricators needs. 2- Hydraulic descent for larger production runs increases blade life and reduces operator fatigue. The hydraulic descent has a down feed adjustment for feed pressure. The saw head is manually lifted to reset the hydraulic descent for the next cut. This metal band saw can cut up to 8" x 9-1/2" rectangle. This model has service requirements of 220V, Single Phase, 60 Hertz. This horizontal band saw has a dual swiveling miter head, allowing the operator to miter 60 degrees in one direction and 45 degrees in the other direction. The vise is fitted with a quick release and tightening feature that allows for very quick operator cycle times between cuts. The vise has quick change over features when changing cut angles.This series of horizontal band saw comes standard with a DC variable speed drive allowing the operator to fine tune the blade speed from 114' to 262' / min. The DC drive also allows for high torque when cutting at slower speeds, which increases blade life. This metal cutting saw series requires a 1" wide saw blade by .035" wall thickness, making this series a very precise miter saw. Baileigh Industrial provides quality band saws at an exceptional value. This band saw is Baileigh's most popular model and is in stock for immediate shipment.
