People think about adding a horizontal band saw to their workshop when they are spending a lot of time cutting metal with hand-held tools. A metal cutting bandsaw delivers continuous cuts by driving a band of metal with sharp cutting teeth tensioned between two wheels. A metal cutting bandsaw speeds up routine cutting tasks enormously.

Do You Need A Horizontal Band Saw?

If you notice how much time and effort you spend cutting metal in your workshop then you should definitely consider purchasing a metal cutting horizontal band saw. There are other options for cutting metal, including plasma or gas cutters, laser cutters, hand-held and bench mounted disk cutters and the good old fashioned hacksaw.

Plasma, Gas & Laser Cutters

Other cutters have good and bad points to consider. Plasma & gas cutters can often be purchased quite cheaply in manual versions, but are not very accurate and present significant fire hazards. Automated plasma and gas cutters, as well as laser cutters, are very expensive and require careful maintenance.

Disk Cutters & Hacksaws

Disk cutters and hacksaws are effective for simple straight cuts, but hacksaws are very hard work for all but the shortest cuts, and disk cutters tend to melt edges, create a lot of sparks and can cause serious injuries if mishandled.

Metal Cutting Horizontal Band Saws are the Cost-Effective Option

The metal cutting band saw is a reliable, consistent, safe and cost-effective machine. You can select a bandsaw to match the size of your most common tasks from small benchtop versions to industrial machines that can only be moved by cranes. Metal cutting band saws have two types to suit different metal cutting needs, and can be customized with a range of optional features.
