Baileigh BSV-12 Vertical Bandsaw Overview
The Baileigh BSV-12 is a compact yet powerful vertical bandsaw designed for professional fabrication shops that need precise metal cutting capabilities without sacrificing valuable floor space. This industrial-grade machine delivers exceptional versatility for cutting everything from mild steel to aluminum, with a built-in blade welder that lets you tackle complex interior cuts with ease.
Are you tired of bulky equipment that eats up your workshop space? The BSV-12 solves that problem. Despite its compact footprint, this bandsaw doesn't compromise on the features you need. Built with a fully welded frame and industrial-grade components, it's engineered to deliver the same high-quality performance as Baileigh's larger models – just in a more space-efficient package.
What makes the BSV-12 stand out is its practical versatility. With four operating speeds ranging from 81 to 319 rpm and a reliable 0.5 HP motor, you can dial in the perfect cutting speed for your material. Whether you're working with mild steel, chrome alloy, aluminum, or even plastic, this machine adapts to your needs. The generous 289mm throat depth and 196mm maximum cutting thickness give you plenty of capacity for most projects, while the pivoting table (10° front to rear, 15° left to right) ensures you can tackle angled cuts without complicated setups.
Here's what really sets this machine apart: the integrated blade welder. Need to cut an opening in the center of your workpiece? Simply cut the blade, thread it through your material, weld it back together, and make your cut. No other saw required. This feature alone can save you hours of work and opens up possibilities for projects that would otherwise require multiple tools. For fabrication shops, custom metalworkers, maintenance departments, and anyone who values precision and versatility, the BSV-12 is an investment that pays for itself through improved productivity and expanded capabilities.
