Baileigh CS-350EU Cold Saw
The Baileigh CS-350EU is a precision 14-inch (350mm) variable speed cold saw designed to deliver clean, burr free cuts in metal tubing, pipe, and solid bar stock. With its inverter driven motor and adjustable blade speeds from 24 to 120 RPM, this manual cold saw gives you the flexibility and accuracy your fabrication shop needs without breaking the bank.
Looking for professional quality cuts without the premium price tag? The CS-350EU is your answer. This cold saw features a true inverter drive system that allows you to fine tune your cutting speed with a simple dial adjustment. Whether you're working with thick wall DOM tubing, structural steel, or solid bar stock, you can dial in the perfect speed for your material and get that mill-like finish every time.
What sets this cold saw apart is its build quality at an accessible price point. The thick cast iron base sits on a heavy duty steel stand, giving you the rigidity you need for precise, chatter free cuts that last. The 3 HP motor couples to a direct drive gearbox, delivering consistent torque that powers through your toughest materials without bogging down. You'll appreciate the European style vise with its taper lock system that speeds up production by letting you clamp and unclamp material quickly. The vise grips both sides of the cut, which means less vibration, longer blade life, and cleaner cuts.
This machine runs on standard 220V single phase power, so you won't need expensive electrical upgrades to get started. The integrated flood coolant system keeps your blade cool and washes chips away from the cut zone, extending blade life while maintaining cutting accuracy. Whether you're a small fabrication shop looking to upgrade from a bandsaw or a seasoned professional who needs reliable performance day after day, the CS-350EU delivers exceptional value. Many users report using the same machine for nearly a decade with minimal maintenance, just changing blades occasionally.
Applications
- Automotive and Chassis Fabrication: Cut roll cage tubing, suspension components, and exhaust piping with precision angles and clean edges
- Marine and Industrial Rails: Produce handrails, guard rails, and safety barriers with consistent quality and square cuts
- Structural Steel Work: Miter and cut angle iron, channel, square tubing, and rectangular tubing for building frames and support structures
- Playground and Outdoor Equipment: Create components for play structures, fitness equipment, and outdoor installations
- Production Parts Manufacturing: Handle high-volume cutting jobs with repeatable accuracy for brackets, spacers, and structural components
- General Metal Fabrication: From prototype work to small production runs, tackle daily shop cutting needs across ferrous materials
Key Features & Benefits
- Variable Speed Control (24-120 RPM): You can adjust blade speed on the fly with a digital readout showing your exact RPM. This means you'll get optimal cut quality whether you're working with thin-wall tubing or thick solid bar stock. Match the speed to your material and never compromise on finish quality.
- 45-Degree Miter Capability (Left and Right): Make angled cuts without complicated setups. The head miters 45 degrees in both directions, perfect for creating frames, structures, and joining pieces at precise angles. You can even slot perpendicular to the material.
- European-Style Taper Lock Vise: This fast-acting vise system saves you time on every cut. The cam lock mechanism lets you secure material quickly, and the serrated jaws grip firmly on both sides of the cut. This means less material movement, extended blade life, and consistently accurate results.
- Integrated Coolant System: The powerful coolant pump does double duty by cooling your blade and flushing chips away from the work area. This keeps your blade cutting efficiently and dramatically extends blade life compared to dry cutting methods.
- Cast Iron Construction with Steel Stand: Vibration is the enemy of accuracy. The heavy cast iron base absorbs cutting forces while the rigid steel stand provides a stable platform. This combination ensures your cuts stay square and accurate even after years of heavy use.
- 3 HP Direct-Drive Motor: Power meets efficiency. The motor connects directly to the gearbox without belts or chains to slip or wear. You get consistent torque delivery for smooth, chatter-free cutting that's easier on your blade and produces better surface finishes.
- 220V Single-Phase Power: No need for expensive three-phase electrical service. This machine runs on standard 220V single-phase power that's available in most shops. Get professional results without the commercial power requirements.
- Generous Cutting Capacity: Handle 120mm (4.7") round tube at 90 degrees or 105mm square tube. The saw accommodates a wide range of material sizes, making it versatile enough for most fabrication projects without stepping up to a much larger, more expensive machine.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials can the CS350EU cut?
The CS-350EU is designed for cutting ferrous (iron-containing) metals including mild steel, carbon steel, structural steel, DOM tubing, stainless steel (with appropriate blade), and alloy steels. It handles solid bar stock, structural shapes, pipes, and tubing with equal precision. For best results on non-ferrous materials like aluminum or copper, consider a higher-speed cold saw model designed specifically for those applications.
How does a cold saw compare to a bandsaw for my shop?
Cold saws and bandsaws serve different purposes. Your cold saw will give you cleaner, more precise cuts with a mirror-like finish that often needs no deburring. Cuts are perfectly square and consistent. The trade-off is that cold saws typically have smaller capacity than similarly priced bandsaws and cut more slowly. However, many fabricators find that the superior cut quality and reduced finishing time make cold saws the better choice for precision work, while bandsaws handle the rougher, larger cutting tasks.
Do I need to use coolant with this saw?
Yes, using coolant is essential for optimal performance and blade life. The integrated coolant system serves multiple purposes: it keeps the blade cool (preventing heat damage and warping), lubricates the cutting process (reducing friction and extending blade life), and washes chips away from the cut zone (maintaining accuracy and preventing recutting). You can use a commercial cutting fluid or soluble oil mixed with water according to the manufacturer's recommendations.
How long do the blades last, and are they expensive?
Blade life depends on several factors including material type, feed pressure, blade speed, and coolant use. With proper operating conditions, a quality HSS blade can last through hundreds or even thousands of cuts before needing sharpening or replacement. Users report only changing blades a couple of times over nearly a decade of use. Replacement blades typically cost between $100-200, and many can be professionally resharpened multiple times, making the cost per cut quite reasonable compared to other cutting methods.
Is the CS350EU difficult to set up and operate?
Not at all. The saw arrives mostly assembled on its stand. Setup involves mounting it to your floor (optional but recommended), filling the coolant reservoir, making basic adjustments, and plugging it in. The manual operation is straightforward: clamp your material, set your blade speed using the digital dial, and lower the feed handle to make your cut. The manual includes clear instructions, and Baileigh provides lifetime technical support by phone if you have questions. Most operators are making quality cuts within minutes of setup.
