Baileigh BSV-24 Heavy Duty Vertical Bandsaw
The Baileigh BSV-24 is a heavy duty vertical bandsaw engineered for fabrication shops and metalworking professionals who need exceptional throat depth and cutting capacity for large scale projects. With its robust 3hp motor and 581mm throat depth, this industrial-grade machine delivers precision cuts on a wide variety of materials, from mild steel to aluminum.
When you're tackling bigger projects that demand both power and precision, the Baileigh BSV-24 rises to the challenge. This isn't your average vertical bandsaw, it's a workhorse built with heavy duty construction and industrial grade components that will serve your shop faithfully for years to come.
What sets the BSV 24 apart is its impressive capacity combined with professional grade versatility. The generous 581mm throat depth means you can work with larger workpieces without compromising on cut quality, while the 336mm maximum thickness capacity handles substantial material with ease. Whether you're cutting intricate curves or making straight precision cuts, this machine gives you the control and reliability you need.
The heart of this bandsaw is its powerful 3hp motor paired with a heavy duty gearbox offering 4 operating speeds from 81 to 318 rpm. This speed range gives you the flexibility to optimize your cuts for different materials, run slower for tougher metals to extend blade life, or increase the speed for softer materials like aluminum. The machine operates on standard 220V power, making it practical for most workshop environments. Plus, with the built in blade welder, you can tackle internal cuts without having to work your way in from the edge, a huge time saver when you need to cut out the center of your workpiece.

- Architectural Metalwork: Producing decorative metal elements, railings, and ornamental pieces with both straight and curved cuts
- Maintenance and Repair Operations: Salvaging equipment by cutting through damaged components and fabricating replacement parts on-site
- Prototype Development: Rapidly creating one-off parts and test components from different materials including aluminum, mild steel, and chrome alloy
- Sign Making and Art: Crafting large-format metal letters, sculptures, and artistic installations that require precision cutting of thick materials
Key Features & Benefits
- Expansive Cutting Capacity: With a 581mm throat depth and 336mm maximum cutting thickness, you can handle larger workpieces that simply won't fit on smaller machines. This means fewer limitations on the projects you can accept and complete.
- Professional-Grade Power System: The robust 3hp motor delivers consistent cutting force, while the heavy-duty gearbox with 4 speed settings (81-318 rpm) lets you dial in the perfect speed for your material. This translates to longer blade life, cleaner cuts, and more efficient operation.
- Versatile Blade Compatibility: Accepts blade widths from 6mm to 19mm, giving you the flexibility to use narrow blades for tight radius curves or wider blades for maximum straight-line cutting performance.
- Built-In Blade Welder: Make internal cuts without having to start from the edge of your workpiece. Simply cut the blade, thread it through your material, weld it back together, and make your cut. This feature alone can save you hours on complex projects.
- Adjustable Tilting Table: The oversized 620mm x 579mm cast iron table pivots 10° front to rear, allowing you to make angled cuts with precision. The substantial table size provides excellent workpiece support and stability during cutting.
- Easy Blade Access and Alignment: Front-access panels make blade changes and adjustments quick and straightforward, minimizing downtime and keeping you productive throughout your workday.
- Precision Ball Bearing Guide System: Fully sealed ball bearing blade guides ensure smooth blade operation and extend blade life by reducing friction and maintaining proper blade tracking.
- Enhanced Visibility: The integrated work light illuminates your cutting line clearly, helping you see exactly where you're cutting for improved accuracy and safety.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can I cut with the BSV24?
The BSV-24 is designed to cut a wide variety of metals including mild steel, aluminum, brass, bronze, copper, and chrome alloy. The 4-speed gearbox allows you to optimize cutting speed for each material type, extending blade life and improving cut quality. It's not recommended for wood or plastic – for those materials, consider Baileigh's variable-speed models.
How difficult is it to change blades?
Blade changes are straightforward thanks to the easy-access front panels. Most operators can complete a blade change in just a few minutes once familiar with the process. The ball bearing guides are adjustable to accommodate different blade widths, and the blade tension system is designed for quick setup.
Do I need special electrical installation for this machine?
The BSV-24 operates on standard 220V, 50Hz, single-phase power, which is common in most European workshops. You should have a qualified electrician verify that your electrical service can handle the 3hp motor load and install an appropriate circuit if needed. Check your local electrical codes for specific requirements.
What ongoing maintenance does the BSV24 require?
Routine maintenance is minimal but important. You'll need to regularly check and adjust blade tension, clean the blade guides and bearings, lubricate moving parts according to the maintenance schedule in your owner's manual, and ensure the table and work surfaces remain clean and rust-free. Baileigh provides lifetime technical support by phone if you have questions about maintenance procedures.
Can I make compound angle cuts with this saw?
The table tilts 10° front to rear, which allows you to make angled cuts in that direction. However, this is not a compound miter saw – it's designed primarily for straight and curved cuts in the vertical plane. For complex angular cuts, you may need to use fixtures or jigs to position your workpiece appropriately.
