Baileigh CS-315EU Cold Saw
The Baileigh CS-315EU is a professional grade manual cold saw designed to deliver mill quality cuts in your fabrication shop without the premium price tag. This best selling 315mm (12.5") cold saw combines precision engineering with European-style efficiency, making it the go to choice for metalworkers who demand accuracy and reliability.
Are you tired of dealing with burrs, heat affected zones, and blade chatter when cutting metal? The CS-315EU solves these problems with its advanced cold saw technology. Unlike abrasive saws or band saws, this machine produces clean, burr-free cuts that are ready to weld or assemble straight away. You won't waste time deburring or cleaning up your cuts anymore.
This machine is built around a robust cast iron base that eliminates vibration and ensures every cut is straight and accurate. The powerful 1.9 kW motor is coupled to a direct drive gearbox, which means the blade cuts through material smoothly without chatter. This design extends blade life significantly while giving you professional results every time. The European style vise features a taper lock system that makes clamping and unclamping incredibly fast, boosting your productivity when you have multiple pieces to cut.
Perfect for small to medium fabrication shops, hot rod builders, chassis manufacturers, and metal frame producers, the CS-315EU handles everything from solid bar stock to tubing and pipe. The integrated flood coolant system keeps the blade cool and washes chips away automatically, making the saw easier to handle while extending blade life. Whether you're working with mild steel, stainless steel, or other materials (with the appropriate blade), this machine gives you consistent, repeatable results. The best part? It runs on standard 220V single phase power, so you don't need expensive three-phase electrical upgrades.
Applications
- Fabrication Shop Production: Cut tube, pipe, and solid bar stock quickly and accurately for structural projects, frames, and assemblies
- Automotive & Hot Rod Building: Create precise chassis components, roll cage sections, and frame parts with clean, weld-ready edges
- Maintenance & Repair Work: Make accurate cuts on site or in your workshop for machinery repairs, bracket fabrication, and custom parts
- Metal Furniture & Fixture Production: Cut steel tubing and square stock for furniture frames, shelving systems, and architectural fixtures
- HVAC & Ductwork: Precisely cut pipe and tubing for custom installations and modifications
- Prototype & Custom Fabrication: Achieve professional results on one-off projects and small production runs without expensive CNC equipment
Key Features & Benefits
- European-Style Taper Lock Vise: You'll clamp and unclamp material in seconds, not minutes. This fast-action system dramatically increases your throughput when you're cutting multiple pieces. The vise grips on both sides of the cut, reducing vibration and extending blade life.
- Direct-Drive Gearbox with Zero Chatter: The strong motor connects directly to the gearbox, eliminating belts and ensuring smooth, vibration-free cutting. Your blades will last longer, and your cuts will be cleaner because there's no chatter or bounce.
- Integrated Flood Coolant System: The powerful coolant pump keeps your blade cool and washes chips away automatically. This means better cut quality, longer blade life, and easier operation. No more stopping to clear chips or worrying about blade overheating.
- Dual 45° Miter Capability: Cut angles precisely to both left and right at 45 degrees. Perfect for creating mitered joints, angled brackets, and complex assemblies without complicated setups.
- Manual Operation for Complete Control: You control the cutting speed by pulling the blade head through the material. This gives you ultimate control over the cutting process and allows you to adjust for different materials and thicknesses on the fly.
- Heavy Cast Iron Construction: The thick cast iron base eliminates flex and vibration, ensuring your cuts are straight and accurate every time. The rigid platform combined with the heavy-duty steel stand puts the saw at the optimal working height.
- Single-Phase Power Convenience: Runs on standard 220V single-phase power. You don't need expensive three-phase electrical installations, making this saw perfect for smaller shops and garages.
- Impressive Cutting Capacity: Handle up to 100mm round tube, 110mm x 70mm rectangular tube, and 82mm x 82mm square tube at 90 degrees. With miter capability, you can cut 90mm round tube and 75mm x 75mm square tube at 45 degrees.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can I cut with the CS315EU?
The CS-315EU excels at cutting mild steel straight out of the box. With the appropriate blade, you can also cut stainless steel, aluminum, and other metals. The 52 RPM blade speed is optimized for ferrous metals, giving you clean, burr-free cuts without heat distortion.
How is a cold saw different from a chop saw or band saw?
Cold saws like the CS-315EU use a circular blade with cutting teeth and a coolant system. They produce superior cut quality with no burrs, no sparks, and virtually no heat-affected zone. Your cuts are ready to weld immediately. Chop saws create sparks, heat, and burrs that need cleanup. Band saws are slower and typically can't match the precision and finish quality of a cold saw.
Do I need threephase power to run this machine?
No! That's one of the best features of the CS-315EU. It runs on standard 220V single-phase power, which is available in most workshops and garages. You don't need expensive electrical upgrades or phase converters.
What's the advantage of the Europeanstyle vise?
The European-style vise with taper lock system lets you clamp and unclamp material much faster than traditional American-style vises. When you're cutting multiple pieces, this speed adds up to significant time savings. You also get a better view of your cut line. The trade-off is that American-style vises are self-centering, while the European style requires manual positioning.
Can I make repeatable cuts for production work?
Absolutely. The included stop rod allows you to set up for repeatable length cuts quickly. Lock in your measurement, and you can produce identical pieces all day long. Combined with the fast-action vise, this makes the CS-315EU excellent for production runs.
What maintenance does the CS315EU require?
Maintenance is straightforward. Keep the coolant reservoir filled and clean, periodically check and tighten any loose bolts, lubricate moving parts according to the manual, and replace blades when they become dull. The direct-drive design means there are no belts to adjust or replace. With proper care, this machine will serve your shop for many years.
