Adjustable Band Saws for Metal
Highly versatile, these saws make precise horizontal and vertical cuts from a single saw. They work well whether you’re simply cutting metal into smaller pieces or creating complex shapes. When the blade is horizontal, these saws cut from above, making square or angled cuts. For straight or intricate curved cuts, position the blade vertically and feed your workpiece through. They’re powerful enough to cut through aluminum, steel, and stainless steel. However, they should only be used for dry cutting.
The higher the horsepower, the smoother the cut, even in thick and hard metals.
Direct-drive saws send power straight to the blade instead of a belt, which keeps power and speed steady when cutting thick, hard metals. They also have fewer parts, which means they need less maintenance.
Saws with an automatic feed push material into the blade at a steady pace, so they’re more accurate than those you feed manually. Once the blade reaches your material, the weight of the saw head completes the cut for you.

Bench-Top Band Saws for Metal
Save space with these saws when you only need to make cuts in small pieces of metal. For smoother cuts in thick and hard metals, choose a saw with higher horsepower (hp). Saws with higher horsepower also handle continuous use better. These band saws are only for dry cutting.
Horizontal-blade saws—roughly the size of a microwave—are for accurate straight or angled cuts, such as miter cuts. Since you lower the blade onto your clamped material, these saws work well for repeat cuts. They’re often used on pipes, bars, blocks, and I-beams. Adjusting the blade guides for accurate and stable cutting doesn’t require any tools. Use a work table (sold separately) to convert these saws into vertical band saws. Saws with clockwise blade rotation have more torque to cut through material faster than standard band saws, whose blades move counterclockwise. As you cut, metal shards move away from your material, reducing heat buildup and extending blade life.
Saws with an automatic feed system control the saw head speed for a consistent cut every time. Once the blade reaches your material, the weight of the saw head completes the cut for you, reducing fatigue.

Horizontal Band Saws for Metal
Make repeat cuts in pipes, bars, and thick metal sheets. These saws make more precise straight and angled cuts than vertical band saws by cutting from above into a clamped workpiece. For smooth cuts every time, the saw head uses hydraulics to move at a controlled speed. Once the blade reaches your material, the weight of the saw head completes the cut for you. The built-in coolant system prevents overheating, so the blade lasts longer and your workpiece won’t harden or warp. The coolant also keeps the cut area clear of metal shards to stop them from sticking onto the blade.
Direct-drive saws send power straight to the blade instead of a belt, which keeps the power and speed steady when cutting thick, hard metals. They also have fewer parts, which means they need less maintenance.
Saws with automatic shut-off stop when there's nothing more to cut through to avoid running needlessly or nicking nearby material.
Saws with cutting resistance detection automatically adjust their speed to protect the blade from bending and the teeth from chipping. The blade slows down for hard materials and speeds up for soft ones. Since you don’t need any tools to access the blade, swapping it out is quick and easy.
Saws with blade tension detection prevent startup if the blade is loose, misaligned, or broken. As a fail-safe, they can also stop mid-cut.
