1. HOW TO SELECT MODEL OF BANDSAW MACHINE?

One can select the most suitable Bandsaw machine for given application by consulting our sales team to avoid wrong selection of bandsawmachine. Because Selection of Bandsaw machine directly related to following data of the application
  • Size (Geometry) Of The Job
  • Grade Of The Material To Be Cut
  • Number Of Pieces Required Per Shift
  • Accuracy ( Allowable Taper) Required In Cutting
After getting above details, we can suggest you best suitable Bandsaw machine for your application.

2. WHY BANDSAW MACHINE?

Bandsaw machines are the basic need for any machine tools industry. Because metal-cutting is the primary process for any Ferrous/Nonferrous Materials. Once the metal has been cut to its required length, a host of other processes can be executed. Such as turning, shaping, grinding, milling and drilling.

3. WHAT IS DIFFERENCE BETWEEN “HINGE" TYPE AND “DOUBLE COLUMN” TYPE BANDSAW MACHINE. ?

Hinge Bandsaw Machine Double Column Bandsaw Machine
Low Price so useful for SSI industries High price so only big industries can afford to invest
Easy to maintain & no extra running expense High skilled is required for maintainance& costly maintainance
Light construction so easy to move Heavy & rigid body so less Vibration
Less accuracy High accuracy within 50 microns
Low Production rate High production cutting rate
Less machine life More machine life
Less Gear box life More Gear box life
Low maintainance cost Hydraulics maintainance is costly

4. HOW TO CALCULATE THE CUTTING COST PER PIECE ?

There is so many parameters affecting “Cutting cost” in Bandsaw machine.
  • The Grade of material
  • The total area of job in sq.cm
  • Labor cost
  • Power cost
  • Machine capital cost ( Investment )
  • Price of Bandsaw blade
First of all, The Performance of any Bandsaw machine can judged by knowing Blade life /performance in the machine. I.e. The number of cuts per Bandsaw blade.
Generally, the life of Bimetal blades are given in Square centimeters area. In “SAAGAR HI-TECH” BRAND Bandsaw machines, the life of blade will depends on the Model of the machine. Because The Performance/Life of blade is directly related to Machine design & its type.
EXAMPLE : Model SH175 is having blade life of 30,000 sq.cm area cut per Bimetal blade. Now, if we are cutting 60mm Round EN-8 material than the area of Job: 28.26 Sq.cm. of 1 piece.
So, the no. of pieces can be cut using 1 Blade = 30,000/ 28.26=1061
Total no. of pieces = 1061
The cost of blade = Rs.1200/- Approx.
So the cutting cost will be Approx. Rs.0.88/- without considering cost of Power & labor.

5. WHAT IS RATIO OF CUTTING OIL TO WATER?

1 lt. cutting oil = 10 lts of Soft water

6. HOW TO SELECT PROPER BANDSAW BLADE?

The selection of Bandsaw blade is very important because it will affect the performance of the machine & blade as well. Here we are giving some guide line for it. The selection of Blade will depends solely on
  • The Geometry of the material to be cut.
  • The Grade of the material
Now Basic Cutting Principle Is That ” Minimum 3 Teeth Of Blade Must Be In Contact With The Material At Any Point Of Time During Cutting “. The Blade Can Be Ordered By Giving Following Data :
  • The Required Teeth Per Inch (T.P.I.)
  • The Length Of Blade ( mm)
  • Type Of Blade I.E. Bimetal / Carbon Steel
  • The Width Of Blade (mm)
  • Thickness Of Blade ( mm)

7. HOW TO SELECT PROPER SPEED OF BLADE & CUTTING FEED ?

The Speed of Blade is directly related to the Grade of material.
Harder The Material ——– Less Speed
Softer The Material ——– Higher Speed
