DoALL Intros New
Band Sawing Line
DoALL Sawing Products, Elk Grove Village, Ill., is introducing Model CP-21A, the first in a new line of high-production dual-column band sawing machines. Other new sawing machine introductions will include Model SM-16D dual swivel scissor-type saw, Model 2613-V3 26-inch vertical contour saw and Model 2012-D12 diamond saw for cutting friable materials.

Model CP-21A has a 2-inch blade for greater beam strength and a powerful 10-horsepower AC inverter band drive system with variable speeds from 40 to 360 fpm for efficiently cutting a wide range of materials up to 21-inch diameter round or square. It incorporates a user-friendly NC control with 12-inch color touch screen, and features a split front vise with dual-range vise clamping to allow higher clamp forces for larger work pieces, a floating-style index assembly with incremental index capability, and a head design that is tilted back 30 degrees to minimize band twist and reduce band fatigue. Other features include a quick start that minimizes setup time by allowing automatic setting of band speed and feed rates based on material type, a 36-inch high chip auger discharge chute that permits the use of a 55-gallon drum for efficient chip collection, and easy access to coolant and hydraulic systems for reduced maintenance costs.

Model SM-16D features a 2-piece cast iron saw head that can swivel 60 degrees right and left for miter cutting and can cut 16 inches wide by 9 inches tall at 90 degrees. It has a 3-hp band drive motor with VFD band speed control from 60 to 400 fpm, and a convenient touch screen control console with buttons that allow the operator to electronically control feed rate and head lift and lower.

Model 2613-V3 offers a 26-inch band-to-column throat depth with 13-inch maximum work height. It has a 3-hp variable frequency AC drive with a dual-range transmission offering band speeds of 30 to 320 and 550 to 5,500 fpm. It can accommodate saw bands from 1/16 to 1-inch width.

Model 2012-D12 is a vertical saw designed to use grit-edged bands for cutting friable materials. It features a 20-inch throat with 12-inch maximum work height, ballscrew-driven electric table with 12-inch stroke, and a 5-hp AC drive with band speeds from 550 to 5,500 fpm.

AME Brochure Details Saw Line
Advanced Machine & Engineering Co., Rockford, Ill., has updated its Amsaw Carbide Saws and Services brochure. Amsaw carbide saws are American-made for heavy-duty performance and faster service. The eight-page brochure provides a brief introduction to Amsaw products and AME’s design/build and machine rebuild services.

Amsaw systems are specifically designed for faster cutting speeds, longer tool life and enhanced precision of carbide saw technology. Amsaw systems use carbide- or cermet-tipped blades to provide fast, accurate cutting for ferrous and non-

ferrous materials, bars or billets, rails, profiles, pipes and tubes. The brochure describes standard and automated carbide sawing systems plus the new railroad saw and drill.

Nishijimax CNC Carbide Cutoff Systems
Replace Production Saws
Pat Mooney Inc., Addison, Ill., offers Nishijimax CNC Carbide Cutoff Systems. The company claims a single Nishijimax Cutoff System can replace three to four production saws, cutting more parts per hour and more parts per blade than a standard saw.

Designed for fully automatic cycles, all Nishijimax saws feature auto loaders and bar stockers. After a bar length has reached the remnant end, the loading table introduces a new bar on the in-feed conveyor. The gripper vise locates the bar and feeds it into trim cut position. During this cycle, the remnant end is discharged into a scrap bin, and the trim cut is made and discarded into a scrap bin. The machine then feeds to proper cut length and continues production. The machine will continue to cycle as long as bars remain on the table or until a pre-determined number of cuts are made.

Other features include:  Nishijimax’s original powder metal saw blade brake for zero vibration when the blade enters the cut, a gearbox oil chiller to maintain constant gearbox temperature throughout operation, and an easily accessible oil pressure adjustment valve. Magnetic and drag style automatic chip conveyors are offered as options.

Scotchman Features Fully Automatic Band Saw
Scotchman Industries, Philip, S.D., offers the SHA 1419 Band Saw, a simple-to-use automatic band saw that combines mitering capability with an automatic bar feed system. The bar feed utilizes an automatic shuttle vise feed system that handles up to 40 inches in a single stroke. This band saw’s capacity is 14-by-19 inches at 90 degrees and 14-by-14 inches at 45 degrees. 

The standard Programmable Length Control allows the operator to program the job, including both piece length and piece count. The PLC takes into consideration the multiple indexes and blade kerf, making it easy to set lengths. The full stroke vising and optional bundling attachment bundles up to the full capacity.

New Blades Last Longer in High Temperatures
Simonds International, Fitchburg, Mass., offers its new X-51 blades, designed to handle the high temperatures generated when cutting exotic alloys and tough materials. The bi-metal bandsaw blades are said to last longer than regular M42 blades, reducing blade replacement costs and blade changeover frequency.

X-51 bandsaw blades feature M51 tooth tips to provide longer blade life cutting through cast iron, tool steel, die steel, stainless steel, nickel based alloys, titanium, Inconel and other exotic alloys. With its combination of cobalt and tungsten at the cutting edge along with a fatigue-resistant blade backer, X-51 is designed for high resistance to frictional heat failure at the tooth tip.

Simonds’ X-51 blades are available in three blade widths of 1-inch, 1-1/4 inch and 1-1/2 inch, and come in a variety of tooth pitch configurations from 2-3, 3-4 and 4-6 teeth per inch for maximum operator flexibility based upon the materials being cut.
