The Baileigh BS-260SA semi-automatic bandsaw is engineered to boost productivity while maintaining the precision and durability expected in a professional fabrication or machine shop. Building on the platform of the popular BS-260M, this upgraded model incorporates foot-pedal controls and a reliable hydraulic system to speed up production runs and reduce operator effort. Its dual-angle mitering capability, combined with a rigid cast-iron bow and reinforced base, ensures clean, consistent cuts across a wide range of materials and applications.
Powered by a 1.5 hp motor with an AC inverter, the BS-260SA offers smooth, adjustable blade speeds from 66 to 280 fpm—allowing operators to tailor performance for steel, stainless, aluminum, and more. The semi-automatic hydraulic clamping and head movement make this saw ideal for shops that need repeatable accuracy with faster turnaround times. Additional safety features, including a hydraulic blade-break shutoff, further enhance reliability and operator confidence during long production cycles.
