Blade speed matches material hardness and thickness. As a guide for bi-metal blades: aluminium and non-ferrous metals run at 60-90 m/min (the highest speed setting); mild steel runs at 30-60 m/min (medium); hardened or alloy steel runs at 20-40 m/min (lower); stainless steel runs at 15-25 m/min (the slowest setting). Variable-speed bandsaws make matching the speed to the material straightforward; fixed-speed bandsaws are typically optimised for mild-steel cutting at moderate thickness.

Match TPI to material thickness using the 'three teeth' rule — at least three teeth should be engaged with the material at any time. For thin sheet (under 3mm), use 18-24 TPI; for general section steel (3-15mm), use 10-14 TPI; for thick bar and section (15-50mm), use 6-10 TPI; for very thick sections (50mm+), use 4-6 TPI. Wrong TPI strips teeth or jams the cut. The product page lists tooth count for every blade.

Cutting fluid significantly extends blade life and improves cut quality on most metals. For steel and stainless, water-soluble cutting fluid (mixed with water in the saw's coolant tank) is the trade standard — flood-cooled bandsaws have a built-in pump and reservoir. For aluminium and non-ferrous, neat cutting wax or stick lubricant is often used instead. Dry cutting is workable for occasional cuts in mild steel but reduces blade life noticeably; for production cutting, always run with cutting fluid.

Yes. Replacement bi-metal bandsaw blades are available across the standard length × width combinations — 1638mm, 2240mm, and other common dimensions — in the standard tooth counts. Consumable parts (drive belts, motor brushes, blade guides, vice jaws, coolant pumps) are available for the majority of Draper, SIP, and Sealey metal-cutting bandsaws. Search by the machine model code.

Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase, in original packaging, on orders delivered within the United Kingdom. For damaged-on-arrival items, report within 24 hours with photographs to [email protected] — we will typically arrange collection and replacement at no cost to you.

Metal Cutting Bandsaw

FilterFilters
View as Grid List

Within Metal Working, Metal Cutting Bandsaw covers the floor-standing and bench-mounted bandsaws designed for cutting metal — steel section, tube, bar, and structural shapes — using a continuous looped blade running through a workpiece held in a vice. Metal-cutting bandsaws differ from wood-cutting bandsaws in blade speed (much slower), blade material (bi-metal or carbide-tipped), cooling (most have a coolant flood system or wax stick), and frame design (heavier, more rigid).

Parts For Machines supplies metal-cutting bandsaws across the trade and professional ranges — typical capacities run from 5-inch (125mm round, 100mm × 130mm rectangle) bench-mounted units up to 10-inch (250mm) and larger floor-standing industrial bandsaws used in fabrication shops and metal merchants. Parts For Machines is an Authorised Distributor and Seller of Draper, SIP, and Sealey across the metal-cutting bandsaw range. For pneumatic cut-off saws — air-driven cutting tools used in tyre-bay and fleet-workshop applications — Parts For Machines offers Chicago Pneumatic.

Product pages list cutting capacity (maximum round bar diameter, maximum rectangular section dimensions — both at 90 degrees and at standard mitre angles), blade dimensions (length × width — typically 1638mm or 2240mm for bench bandsaws), motor power (typically 0.55-1.5 kW for trade-grade saws), blade speeds (variable-speed bandsaws allow matching the blade speed to the material — softer metals run faster, hardened or stainless materials run slower), and weight. Replacement bandsaw blades are sized by length × width × thickness × tooth count. For metal cutting, bi-metal blades are the workshop standard — softer-steel back for flexibility, hardened tooth tips for cutting life.

Tooth count (TPI — teeth per inch) matches the material thickness: more teeth for thinner sections, fewer teeth for thicker sections. Trade pricing on multi-tool and workshop fit-out orders is available; contact the team via WhatsApp 07754288583.
