Baileigh BS 210M Metal Bandsaw Overview
The Baileigh BS-210M is a versatile single-mitre horizontal bandsaw that delivers professional-grade metal cutting precision with hydraulic descent control. Designed for small to medium workshops, this 0.75kW powerhouse handles materials up to 210mm rectangular capacity while operating on standard 220V single-phase power.
The BS-210M represents the perfect balance between industrial capability and workshop practicality. This bandsaw combines essential professional features typically found on more expensive models with the accessibility needed for smaller operations. Its dual control system allows operators to choose between manual trigger-switch operation or hydraulic descent for unattended cutting, maximizing both flexibility and productivity.
Built around a robust cast iron saw head and bow construction, the BS-210M minimizes vibration while maintaining exceptional cutting accuracy. The swivel head design allows for precise mitre cuts up to 60 degrees without compromising vise holding power. This innovative approach to angle cutting ensures faster setup times and more accurate results compared to traditional vise-adjustment systems.
The variable blade speed system, ranging from 20 to 85 meters per minute, is controlled through a gear-driven motor system that eliminates the need for belt adjustments. This infinitely adjustable speed control allows operators to optimize cutting performance for different materials, from mild steel to stainless steel and aluminum, significantly extending blade life while improving cut quality.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the dual descent control system work?
The BS-210M offers two operating modes. In manual mode, you control the descent using a trigger switch and handle for precise control over the cutting process. In hydraulic mode, you set the descent pressure and the saw automatically feeds through the material at a controlled rate, stopping automatically when the cut is complete. This allows for walk-away operation during production runs.
What materials can the BS210M cut effectively?
The BS-210M handles a wide range of metals including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, and other non-ferrous materials. The variable speed control (20-85 mpm) allows you to optimize blade speed for each material type. Lower speeds work best for harder materials like stainless steel, while higher speeds are ideal for aluminum and mild steel.
Do I need special electrical requirements to run this saw?
No, the BS-210M operates on standard 220V, 50Hz single-phase power, making it suitable for most workshop environments without special electrical installations. The 0.75kW motor is energy-efficient while providing ample cutting power. Note that the saw should not be used on GFCI-protected circuits as the variable frequency drive may cause tripping.
What's the advantage of the swivel head design over traditional vise adjustment?
The swivel head design maintains consistent vise clamping pressure regardless of the mitre angle, ensuring your workpiece stays secure during angle cuts. This design also speeds up setup time as you only need to adjust the head angle rather than repositioning the material in the vise, resulting in more accurate and repeatable mitre cuts.
How often should the blade be replaced?
Blade life depends on usage intensity, materials being cut, and proper speed selection. Users report exceptional blade longevity when using quality bi-metal blades. The saw's variable speed control and flood coolant system help maximize blade life. Many users report getting months of heavy use from a single quality blade when properly maintained and operated at correct speeds for the material being cut.
