Sawing machines are mainly divided into circular Sawing machines, band Sawing machines and hack Sawing machines. Many people ask, if I want to saw metal, which saw should I choose? This article mainly introduces to you, Should you choose a circular saw or a band saw for metal sawing?


Here is the content list:

What is a circular sawing machine?


Circular Sawing machines are divided into automatic circular Sawing machines and semi-automatic circular Sawing machines. The circular saw blade performs a rotating cutting motion, and at the same time, it performs a feeding motion with the saw box. The circular Sawing machine is divided into three types: horizontal circular Sawing machine, vertical circular Sawing machine and pendulum circular Sawing machine according to the feeding direction of the saw blade. In addition, there are various special circular Sawing machines, such as the shaking-head Sawing machine for cutting the pouring riser of large castings; the saw-drilling machine tool for rail sawing and drilling, etc.


What is a band sawing machine?


The circular saw belt is tensioned on two saw wheels, and the saw wheels drive the saw belt for cutting. There are two main types of band Sawing machines: vertical band Sawing machines and horizontal band Sawing machines. The saw frame of the vertical band saw is set vertically, and the workpiece moves during cutting to cut the curved outline of the sheet metal and formed parts. The saw frame of the horizontal band Sawing machine is arranged horizontally or obliquely, and is fed in the vertical direction or in the direction of swinging around a fulcrum. The saw belt is generally twisted by 40° to keep the sawtooth perpendicular to the workpiece.


What is the difference between a circular saw and a band saw?


The biggest difference between a circular Sawing machine and a band Sawing machine is that the circular Sawing machine uses a circular saw blade for sawing, and the band Sawing machine uses a saw blade:

1. The efficiency of the circular saw is higher than that of the band saw

2. The sawing accuracy of the circular saw is higher than that of the band saw

3. The circular saw is suitable for batch sawing~ (some band saws can also do it, but the efficiency is low)


Should you choose a circular saw or a band saw for metal sawing?


Due to the deep and hard tooth profile of the circular saw blade, the circular Sawing machine is especially suitable for sawing copper, aluminum and non-ferrous metals. The saw doesn't move. Therefore, according to the sawing material, the circular Sawing machine is selected for sawing copper, aluminum and non-ferrous metals, and the band Sawing machine is selected for sawing steel.

In some application scenarios, the sawing method of circular saw is more economical and effective, especially for occasions with high requirements on machining accuracy and high efficiency. Although this equipment is expensive, circular sawing with carbide-tipped cold saw blades can significantly improve sawing efficiency.
