Baileigh CS-275M Cold Saw
The Baileigh CS-275M is a heavy duty manual cold saw that delivers precision, burr free cuts on ferrous and non-ferrous metals day after day. Built for fabrication shops that demand accuracy without compromise, this 275mm (11") cold saw combines robust construction with intelligent features that make your cutting tasks faster, cleaner, and more repeatable.
Are you tired of dealing with rough, burr laden cuts that require endless finishing work? The CS-275M solves this problem with its precision cold-cutting technology. Unlike abrasive chop saws that generate excessive heat and sparks, this cold saw transfers heat to the chips instead of your material, keeping both the blade and workpiece cool throughout the cutting process. What does this mean for you? Clean cuts with no heat distortion, no material discoloration, and minimal burr formation that's ready for your next operation without tedious deburring.
Designed specifically for metalworking professionals, fabricators, and machine shops, the CS-275M handles everything from thin-walled tubing to solid bar stock with equal confidence. Its dual-speed motor gives you the flexibility to optimize cutting speed based on your material: run at 60 RPM when cutting mild steel for maximum blade life, or switch to 120 RPM when working with aluminum and other non-ferrous metals for faster production. The direct-drive head features precision-ground, hardened metal gears that maintain tight tolerances year after year, even under demanding daily use.
The self centering American style vice is where this saw truly shines. You'll appreciate how it automatically aligns your material perfectly with the blade, eliminating the frustration of crooked cuts and wasted material. The dual-action design grips both sides of your workpiece independently, preventing material from dropping into the spinning blade and extending your blade life significantly. With a maximum vice opening of 114mm, you have plenty of capacity for common fabrication stock sizes. The heavy folded steel base, larger and wider than comparable models, provides rock solid stability that translates directly to accuracy and wobble-free cutting, even when handling heavier materials.

Applications
- Marine Fabrication: Cutting stainless steel tubing and pipe for boat railings, deck hardware, and marine structures with corrosion-resistant, clean edges
- Playground Equipment Manufacturing: Producing precise tube and pipe sections for swing sets, climbing structures, and safety barriers where fit and finish matter
- Architectural Metalwork: Creating hand railings, balustrades, and decorative metal features with professional mitered joints and clean finishes
- Chassis and Frame Building: Cutting square and rectangular tubing for automotive chassis, roll cages, trailers, and custom vehicle frameworks
- General Fabrication Shops: Handling daily production cutting of angle iron, channel, I-beams, and various structural shapes for construction and manufacturing projects
- Ductwork: Cutting precise lengths of ductwork materials, brackets, and support structures with minimal cleanup required
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual-Speed Operation (60/120 RPM): You get the best of both worlds. Use lower speeds for ferrous metals like steel to maximize blade life and cut quality, then switch to higher speeds for non-ferrous materials like aluminum and copper for faster production. No other adjustments needed, just flip a switch.
- Self-Centering Dual-Action Vice: Say goodbye to material alignment headaches. This intelligent vice system automatically centers your workpiece with the blade and grips both sides independently. You'll love how it prevents material from falling during the cut, protecting both your investment in blades and your finished parts.
- Versatile Miter Capability: Need to cut angles for slotting applications? The head miters 45° to the right and 90° to the left, giving you incredible flexibility for notching, slotting, and creating perfect joints. Quick angle changes mean less setup time and more productivity.
- Integrated Flood Coolant System: This isn't just a nice addition, it's essential for professional results. The flood coolant keeps your blade teeth cool and lubricated, dramatically extending blade life while washing chips away from the cutting area. You'll see the difference immediately in cut quality and blade longevity.
- Heavy-Duty Direct-Drive Gearbox: Forget about belt adjustments and tension issues. The all-metal gear system is precision-ground and hardened for years of maintenance-free operation. Backlash adjustment ensures you can maintain tight tolerances throughout the saw's lifetime.
- Robust Construction for Accuracy: The heavy folded steel base isn't just about durability, it's about delivering consistent, accurate cuts every single time. Larger and more stable than lighter models, this base eliminates vibration and ensures your cuts stay square and true.
- Adjustable Stop Rod System: When you need to produce multiple pieces at exactly the same length, the sturdy stop rod moves left or right to set up repeatable production runs. Set it once and cut dozens of identical pieces with confidence.
- Professional-Grade Motor: The powerful 3.0 HP / 1.5 HP motor delivers consistent torque through the cut without bogging down, even in thicker materials. Running on 400V 3-phase power, it's built for continuous shop use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What types of materials can the CS275M cut?
The CS-275M is incredibly versatile and can cut both ferrous and non-ferrous metals. This includes mild steel, stainless steel, aluminum, copper, brass, various alloys, tubing, pipe, solid bar stock, angle iron, channel, and structural shapes. Simply use the lower 60 RPM speed for steel and harder materials, and switch to 120 RPM for softer metals like aluminum. Always match your blade type to your material for optimal results.
How often do cold saw blades need to be replaced or resharpened?
One of the biggest advantages of cold saws is blade longevity. With proper coolant use and appropriate cutting speeds, a quality HSS cold saw blade can make thousands of cuts before needing resharpening. Most blades can be professionally resharpened 10-15 times or more, making them far more economical than abrasive wheels or bandsaw blades in the long run. Factors affecting blade life include material hardness, feed pressure, coolant quality, and proper speed selection.
What kind of maintenance does the CS275M require?
The CS-275M is designed for minimal maintenance. Regularly check and maintain the coolant level and concentration (typically a 10:1 water-to-coolant ratio). Periodically lubricate the vice mechanism and pivot points with appropriate machine oil. Keep the blade teeth clean and inspect for damage. Check the gearbox oil level annually. The direct-drive design eliminates belt changes and most routine adjustments. Following the operator's manual guidelines will ensure decades of reliable operation.
Can I use this saw for production work, or is it only suitable for occasional use?
The CS-275M is absolutely built for production environments. Its robust cast construction, heavy-duty motor, and precision gearing are designed to handle continuous daily use in professional fabrication shops. The self-centering vice and stop rod make it perfect for production runs of identical pieces. Many shops run these saws all day, every day, for years without issues. That said, it's also ideal for smaller shops that need professional results without the complexity and cost of semi-automatic or fully automatic systems.
What electrical requirements do I need for installation?
The CS-275M requires 400V, 3-phase, 50Hz power, which is standard in most European industrial and commercial shop environments. You'll need a dedicated circuit with appropriate amperage for the 3.0 HP motor. If your shop doesn't currently have 3-phase power, consult with a licensed electrician about installation options. The saw should be properly grounded according to local electrical codes for safety.
