Baileigh BS-250M Single Miter Horizontal Band Saw Overview
The Baileigh BS-250M is a professional-grade single miter horizontal band saw designed for precision metal cutting with swivel head capabilities up to 60 degrees. This robust machine delivers consistent, accurate cuts across various materials and profiles, making it an essential tool for fabrication shops and industrial metalworking operations.
The BS-250M represents the perfect balance of power, precision, and versatility in horizontal band saws. Built with a welded steel framework and cast iron saw head, this machine is engineered to provide decades of reliable service in demanding fabrication environments. The saw features an inverter-driven 1.1kW high torque AC motor that drives through a gearbox, eliminating the need for pulleys and belts while providing smooth, adjustable cutting speeds from 20 to 85 meters per minute.
What sets the BS-250M apart is its innovative swivel head design that allows for quick miter adjustments up to 60 degrees while keeping the vise stationary. This unique feature ensures superior cutting accuracy and maintains maximum holding power throughout the cutting process. The saw accommodates materials up to 227mm in round capacity at 90 degrees, making it suitable for a wide range of metal cutting applications from small precision work to larger structural pieces.
Designed for both manual and production environments, the BS-250M offers dual operation modes. Operators can choose between manual descent using the pull-down arm and trigger switch for one-off cuts, or switch to hydraulic descent mode for automated production runs. The hydraulic system provides controlled, consistent cutting pressure and automatically shuts down the blade and coolant system when the cut is complete, improving both efficiency and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the BS250M cut different types of metal materials?
Yes, the BS-250M is designed to cut various metals including steel, aluminum, brass, and other alloys. The variable speed control (20-85 mpm) allows you to optimize cutting speed for different material types and hardnesses, ensuring clean cuts and maximum blade life.
How difficult is it to change the miter angle?
Changing the miter angle is remarkably simple and takes just seconds. The swivel head design allows you to adjust angles from 0° to 60° while the vise remains stationary, maintaining consistent workpiece positioning and cutting accuracy.
What maintenance is required for the BS250M?
Regular maintenance includes checking blade tension using the liquid-filled gauge, maintaining proper coolant levels, cleaning chips from the cutting area, and periodically checking blade guide alignment. The gear-driven design eliminates belt and pulley maintenance common in other saws.
Is this saw suitable for production environments?
Absolutely. The BS-250M features a hydraulic descent mode specifically designed for production runs. This automated cutting mode maintains consistent pressure throughout the cut and automatically shuts down the blade and coolant when complete, making it ideal for repetitive cutting operations.
