Horizontal Metal-Cutting Bandsaws
Summary for Horizontal Metal-Cutting Bandsaws
Horizontal Metal-Cutting Bandsaws - Versatility for Consistent Results
With impressive cutting capacity and motors between 1 and 2 HP for most models, Grizzly horizontal bandsaws let you put in a full day of cutting at the jobsite or in the shop. Features such as ball-bearing blade guide systems and adjustable feed rates ensure efficiency, and options such as a variable frequency drive provide valuable high-torque variable speed to power through tough workpieces.
Models range from portable versions that are easy to transport and use as a cutoff saw to slice through pipe and conduit, up to large industrial bandsaws with advanced options such as fully automatic feeding, cutting, and lifting for intensive material processing.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a horizontal metal-cutting bandsaw?
A horizontal bandsaw is a saw with a blade that moves downward in a horizontal plane to cut metal stock. It's ideal for precisely cutting bars, tubes, pipes, and structural shapes of materials including steel, aluminum, brass, and copper. Blade type and speed settings determine what materials the bandsaw can cut efficiently.
To find replacements or other types of blades for your Grizzly bandsaw, enter your machine model number into our Bandsaw Blade Finder.
How do I choose what blade speed to use?
There are several factors to consider when deciding on the blade speed for a particular cut:
- What is the material type? Higher speeds provide smoother cuts for soft metals, while slower speeds are better for hard metals to prevent overheating.
- What is the stock size? The thicker the stock, the slower the recommended blade speed to avoid excessive heat or strain.
- What type of blade are you using? Coarser blades are more effective with softer metals at faster speeds, and fine-tooth blades at slower speeds are suggested for harder metals.
