Baileigh CS-350SA Cold Saw
The Baileigh CS-350SA is a professional grade semi automatic cold saw that delivers precision cuts on a production scale, combining robust construction with user friendly pneumatic automation to boost your shop's efficiency and cut quality.
Looking to take your metal cutting operation to the next level? The CS-350SA from Baileigh Industrial is engineered for fabrication shops that demand both quality and productivity. This semi automatic cold saw transforms your cutting workflow by handling the entire cutting cycle automatically. Simply place your material in the vice, push the foot pedal, and watch as the machine clamps, cuts, and returns to starting position while you prepare the next piece.
Built on the proven foundation of Baileigh's manual CS-350M (widely recognized as one of the best production saws available), this semi automatic version adds pneumatic power to reduce operator fatigue and increase throughput. Whether you're cutting thin walled tubing for handrails, schedule 80 pipe for structural work, or solid bar stock for machining, the CS-350SA handles it all with exceptional precision.
What sets this cold saw apart is its heavy duty cast iron construction that virtually eliminates vibration, ensuring mirror-like cut surfaces that often eliminate secondary finishing operations. The self centering vice automatically adjusts to different material diameters, which means you spend less time on setup changes and more time making money. With two blade speeds (22 and 44 rpm) and the ability to miter 45° right and 90° left, you have the versatility to tackle diverse cutting applications including slotting operations.
Applications
- Structural Steel Fabrication: Cut beams, channels, and angle iron for construction projects with exceptional accuracy and clean edges
- Marine and Playground Equipment: Produce handrails, guardrails, and safety barriers with repeatable precision using the built-in stop rod
- Automotive and Chassis Work: Handle tubular frame components, exhaust systems, and roll cage materials with confidence
- HVAC and Ductwork: Process round and rectangular tubing for ductwork fabrication with burr-free results
- General Job Shop Production: Tackle high-volume cutting of pipe, tube, extrusions, and solid bar stock across multiple materials
- Maintenance and Repair Shops: Quickly cut replacement parts and custom lengths for equipment repair and modifications
Key Features & Benefits
- Productivity-Boosting Semi-Automatic Operation: Simply load your material and press the foot pedal. The pneumatic system clamps the workpiece, the blade starts and descends automatically, completes the cut, then returns to starting position. This hands-free operation means you can prepare the next piece while the current one is being cut, dramatically increasing your throughput.
- Precision Self-Centering Vice: The dual-action American-style vice keeps your material perfectly aligned with the blade regardless of diameter changes. No manual adjustments needed when switching between different pipe sizes, which saves you valuable setup time and ensures consistent cut quality.
- Versatile Dual-Speed Cutting: Switch between 22 rpm and 44 rpm blade speeds to optimize cutting performance for different materials. The slower speed handles tough materials like stainless steel, while the faster speed increases productivity on mild steel and aluminum.
- Professional-Grade Miter Capability: Miter 45° to the right and 90° to the left for a total range of 135°, making this saw perfect for slotting applications and angled cuts. This flexibility opens up more job possibilities for your shop.
- Vibration-Dampening Cast Iron Construction: The rigid cast iron head and base work together to eliminate blade wobble and chatter during cutting. This translates directly to superior surface finish and extended blade life, reducing your operating costs.
- Precision Ground and Hardened Gears: All-metal gears in the blade head are ground and hardened for exceptional durability and tight tolerances. The backlash adjustment feature lets you maintain accuracy throughout the saw's lifespan.
- Integrated Flood Coolant System: The built-in coolant system continuously lubricates the blade and washes away chips, delivering the clean, precise cuts that only a cold saw can achieve while extending blade life significantly.
- Repeatable Length Cutting: The steel mechanical stop rod allows you to set up for production runs with consistent lengths, perfect for high-volume orders where dimensional accuracy matters.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between this semiautomatic model and the manual CS350M?
The CS-350SA adds pneumatic automation to the proven CS-350M design. With the semi-automatic version, you simply press a foot pedal and the machine handles clamping, blade start, cutting descent, and return automatically. This reduces operator fatigue significantly, especially on thick materials, and allows you to prep the next piece while the current one is being cut. If you're running production volumes or cutting thick-walled materials regularly, the productivity gains quickly justify the investment.
Can I cut stainless steel and aluminum with this saw?
Absolutely! The dual-speed capability (22/44 rpm) is specifically designed for cutting multiple material types. Use the slower 22 rpm speed for harder materials like stainless steel and tool steel, and the faster 44 rpm for mild steel and aluminum. Just make sure you're using the appropriate blade type and coolant for each material.
How difficult is blade changing, and how long do blades typically last?
Blade changes are straightforward and all necessary tools are included with the saw. Blade life varies based on material type, cutting parameters, and maintenance, but with the integrated flood coolant system keeping the blade cool and lubricated, you'll see significantly extended blade life compared to saws without coolant. Many users report months of production use between blade changes when cutting mild steel with proper technique.
What air pressure requirements does the pneumatic system need?
The pneumatic vice and automation system typically requires a shop air supply in the 90-120 PSI range. Your existing shop compressor should handle this easily. Make sure you have adequate CFM capacity if running multiple pneumatic tools simultaneously.
Is this saw suitable for a small shop or only for highvolume production?
While the CS-350SA excels in production environments, it's equally valuable for smaller shops. The semi-automatic operation reduces operator fatigue even on low-volume jobs, and the precision and cut quality justify the investment when you're bidding against competitors. The self-centering vice alone saves countless minutes throughout the day. Think of it as future-proofing your shop's capabilities as you grow.
