Baileigh BSV-20VS Variable Speed Vertical Bandsaw
The Baileigh BSV-20VS is a professional-grade variable speed vertical bandsaw that combines precision, versatility, and power to handle wood, metal, and plastic cutting tasks in any fabrication shop. With its generous 521mm throat depth and true variable speed control, this machine bridges the gap between light-duty saws and industrial heavy-hitters.
Are you tired of switching between multiple saws for different materials? The BSV-20VS solves that problem with its intelligent variable speed system that lets you dial in the perfect cutting speed from 65 to 1640 feet per minute. This means you can tackle mild steel in the morning, switch to aluminum in the afternoon, and even cut plastic or wood when needed—all with the same machine.
What makes this bandsaw stand out is its professional build quality combined with user-friendly features. The robust 1.5 kW motor delivers consistent power, while the cast iron table provides rock-solid stability for both straight and curved cuts. You'll appreciate how the table pivots 5° left and 15° right, making angled cuts straightforward and repeatable. Plus, the generous 314mm maximum cutting thickness means you're not limited to thin materials.
Here's where it gets really clever: this saw comes with an integrated blade welder and shear system. Need to cut out the center of a workpiece without cutting through from the edge? Simply shear the blade, thread it through your material, weld it back together, and start cutting. This feature alone can save you hours on complex fabrication projects. Whether you're running a professional fabrication shop, a maintenance facility, or a serious hobbyist workshop, the BSV-20VS gives you the capacity and control to handle diverse cutting challenges efficiently.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can I cut with the BSV-20VS?
The variable speed design allows you to cut a wide range of materials including mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, brass, copper, various plastics, and wood. The key is matching your blade speed to the material—use lower speeds for harder metals and higher speeds for softer materials.
Do I need special electrical requirements?
The BSV-20VS is available in two power configurations: 220V 50Hz single-phase or 400V three-phase. Most European workshops can accommodate either option. Make sure your electrical supply matches the specification before installation.
How difficult is it to weld blades with the builtin welder?
The integrated blade welder is straightforward to use, even for operators with minimal welding experience. The built-in grinder smooths the weld joint for optimal performance. With a little practice, you'll be making perfect welds in minutes.
Can I cut stainless steel with this saw?
Yes, the BSV-20VS handles stainless steel well. Use a bi-metal blade designed for stainless, set your speed to the lower end of the range (around 65-100 fpm), and ensure proper blade tension. The variable speed control gives you the precision needed for clean stainless cuts.
What type of blade should I use for different applications?
For general metalwork, a bi-metal blade works well. Use carbon steel blades for wood and soft plastics, and carbide-tipped blades for abrasive materials. Match your teeth-per-inch (TPI) to material thickness—higher TPI for thin materials, lower TPI for thick stock.
