Baileigh BS-20SA-DM Semi Automatic Dual Miter Bandsaw Overview
The Baileigh BS-20SA-DM is a heavy-duty semi-automatic horizontal bandsaw designed for precision metal cutting with dual-miter capabilities, offering industrial-grade performance for fabrication shops, machine shops, and metalworking facilities that demand accuracy and efficiency in production environments.
Built with a robust cast iron bow and electro-welded steel frame, the BS-20SA-DM represents the pinnacle of industrial bandsaw engineering, combining decades of Baileigh's manufacturing expertise with modern automation features. This 13-inch capacity saw excels at cutting various materials including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, and other non-ferrous metals with exceptional precision and repeatability.
The machine's semi-automatic operation, powered by hydraulic systems for the vise, downfeed, and bow return, significantly reduces operator fatigue while increasing production efficiency. The dual-miter swivel head capability allows cuts from 45° left to 60° right without repositioning the workpiece or compromising vise holding power, making it ideal for complex fabrication projects requiring angular cuts.
Designed for professional metalworking environments, the BS-20SA-DM features an inverter-driven variable speed control system that delivers blade speeds from 60 to 306 feet per minute, allowing operators to optimize cutting parameters for different materials and thicknesses. The included digital readout (DRO) ensures precise speed settings can be easily reproduced for consistent results across production runs.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can the BS-20SA-DM cut effectively?
The BS-20SA-DM excels at cutting mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, bronze, copper, brass, and most non-ferrous metals. The variable speed control allows optimization for each material type, with slower speeds for harder materials and faster speeds for softer metals.
How difficult is the initial setup and calibration?
Setup is straightforward with clear instructions provided. The machine arrives mostly assembled, requiring only blade installation, fluid filling, and basic calibration. Most users report having the saw operational within 2-3 hours of uncrating.
What maintenance is required for optimal performance?
Regular maintenance includes daily cleaning of chips, checking hydraulic fluid levels, monitoring blade tension using the built-in gauge, and ensuring the coolant system is functioning properly. Blade guides should be adjusted close to the workpiece for each cut, and blade replacement is recommended when cuts become irregular.
Can this saw handle production environments?
Yes, the BS-20SA-DM is specifically designed for production use with its semi-automatic features, hydraulic systems, and robust construction. The hydraulic vise and automatic bow return significantly reduce cycle times, while the heavy-duty components ensure reliability during continuous operation.
Is special electrical installation required?
The BS-20SA-DM requires a 400V, 50Hz, 3-phase electrical connection. Professional electrical installation is recommended to ensure proper grounding and circuit protection. The machine draws 2.2 kW of power during operation.
