Baileigh BS-350SA Semi-Automatic Dual Miter Band Saw
The Baileigh BS-350SA is a professional-grade semi-automatic band saw that brings industrial cutting precision to your workshop, designed for metal fabricators who need reliable performance and versatile cutting angles without breaking the bank.
Looking for a band saw that works as hard as you do? The BS-350SA delivers exactly what your fabrication shop needs. This isn't just another cutting tool—it's your production partner.
This semi-automatic band saw combines robust cast iron construction with intelligent hydraulics to make your cutting operations faster and more accurate. With its dual mitering capability (60° right and 45° left), you can tackle complex angle cuts without repositioning your workpiece. The 270mm round capacity at 90° means you're equipped to handle substantial stock, while the variable speed control (20-85 meters per minute) lets you optimize every cut for different materials—extending blade life and saving you money.
What sets the BS-350SA apart is its semi-automatic operation. The industrial-grade hydraulic system handles the heavy lifting—literally. It raises and lowers the cutting head, clamps and releases your workpiece, all controlled by a convenient foot pedal. This means you can focus on setup and quality while the machine handles the repetitive work. It's perfect for light production environments where you need efficiency without the complexity of fully automatic systems.
The heart of this machine is its high-torque 1.5kW AC motor driven by a gear system. No belts to slip or adjust, just reliable power delivered exactly where you need it. Combined with precision ball bearing blade guides and carbide-roller support, you get clean, accurate cuts day after day.

Applications
- Structural Steel Fabrication: Cut beams, channels, and angle iron for building construction and metalwork projects
- Custom Metal Projects: Handle varied materials from mild steel to stainless steel, brass, and aluminum with precision
- Production Runs: Semi-automatic operation makes repetitive cutting jobs faster and more consistent
- Angled Cuts: Create mitered joints for frames, brackets, and architectural metalwork without complex setups
- Maintenance Shops: Size stock material quickly for repairs and fabrication work in automotive or industrial facilities
- Job Shop Operations: Switch between different materials and cutting angles efficiently for diverse customer orders
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual Miter Capability (0-60° Right, 45° Left): Cut complex angles without repositioning your workpiece, saving you time and ensuring accuracy on every mitered joint
- Semi-Automatic Hydraulic System: The machine handles clamping, cutting, and releasing automatically—you just load the material and press the foot pedal. This means less operator fatigue and more consistent results
- Variable Speed Control (20-85 m/min): Adjust cutting speed on the fly to match your material. Slower speeds for hard stainless steel, faster for aluminum—this flexibility extends blade life and improves cut quality
- Cast Iron Head and Bow: Precision-machined heavy castings absorb vibrations that cause poor cuts. You get smooth, accurate results and a machine that will stay accurate for years
- High-Torque Gear Drive: A 1.5kW AC motor delivers reliable power through a gearbox, not belts. This means consistent performance, minimal maintenance, and no belt adjustments
- Carbide and Roller Blade Guides: Position the blade close to your material with precision ball bearing guides for clean, square cuts every time
- Generous Cutting Capacity: Handle materials up to 270mm round or 350x220mm rectangular at 90°, giving you the versatility to tackle most fabrication projects
- Pressure-Assist Hydraulic Descent: Adjustable downfeed pressure ensures optimal cutting performance across different materials without manual intervention

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this machine cut stainless steel?
Yes, absolutely. The BS-350SA is equipped with a bi-metal blade that handles stainless steel, mild steel, aluminum, brass, and other metals. The variable speed control is particularly useful for stainless—just dial down to the lower speed range (20-40 m/min) for optimal results and longer blade life.
What power supply do I need?
The EU version requires 400V, 50Hz, 3-phase power. This is standard industrial power in most European workshops. Make sure your facility has the appropriate electrical infrastructure before installation. If you're unsure, consult with a qualified electrician.
What maintenance does this saw require?
Regular maintenance is straightforward: keep the blade guides adjusted, maintain proper blade tension using the liquid-filled gauge, ensure the coolant system is filled and clean, and periodically check hydraulic fluid levels. The gear drive system requires minimal maintenance compared to belt-driven saws.
How difficult is it to change the cutting angle?
Very simple. The dual swivel head design means you can adjust the miter angle in seconds using the clearly marked scale. The key advantage? Your vise stays in place—you're just rotating the head, not repositioning your workpiece or changing your setup.
Is this suitable for a oneperson operation?
Yes, that's exactly what it's designed for. The semi-automatic hydraulic system means one operator can efficiently run production cuts. Load your material, secure it with the hydraulic vise (using the foot pedal), and the machine takes over from there. The automatic shut-off after each cut means you can focus on loading the next piece.
