Cold Cut Saws produce a cleaner and more accurate cut than a Bandsaw. They generally have a smaller capacity, but a greater cut speed.

Good quality blades, like our Kinkelder range, can be re-sharpened up to 30 times.

The key to optimum performance is speed and chip load. For cutting thin walled materials, you generally need fine tooth range to control chip load. On solid materials, such as bar, you require a coarser tooth range so you produce bigger chip rate.

Bandsaw selection comes down to the maximum size of cut required. Options of Fixed Bow or Swivel Bow are available. Bandsaws also have the benefit of “Set and Forget” so they will stop once the cut is completed.

Bandsaw cutting angles are cited from the neutral position – 0° when cutting straight across the metal. Rotating the head to the left is the positive angle, to the right the negative angle, which you’ll see referred to in specifications as +/- angles.
