FEATURES

The main features of the 260 BSA

DOUBLE MITER

Miter cutting both ways +60°/-45°. The frame rotates on tapered roller bearings, independently of the support planes on which the material rests.

GEAR PUMP

Hydraulic system for a smooth adjustment of the bow feed and cutting pressure. At cycle start, the vise clamps hydraulically and the saw bow automatically descends. At the end of the cutting operation, the vise opens and the saw bow automatically returns to its initial upper position.

BLADE GUIDES

Front and rear blade guides with adjustable carbide plates, with a high-pressure lubrication system for efficient chip removal.

FRAME

Bow made of a special hardened aluminum alloy, machined in a single setup on a machining center. High-quality finish with smooth, glossy coating and inclined at 30° to minimize blade length and ensure precise, straight cuts.

WORKING PLANES

Two large work tables provide a practical and comfortable working surface. The machine already offers a wide cutting capacity with a single table, while the second one is usually kept as a spare. Once worn, the tables can be turned upside down, always providing a new working surface.

CONTROL PANEL

Practical, simple and ergonomic, it can be positioned on all sides of the machine to facilitate different working operations.

CHIPS TANK

Large chip tray complete with a perforated tank that allows coolant to pass through while retaining swarf. Easy to clean.

COOLANT SYSTEM

Coolant tank 50lt capacity + powerful coolant-pump with stainless steel protection.

MEASURING DEVICE

Measuring hard stop L=500 mm with height regulation.

All CARIF models 260/320/450 are completely Hydraulic: closure of the vice, bow feed and pressure.

Closure of the vice, bow feed and pressure. The Carif hydraulic patented system has been designed with 2 commands: BOW FEED and CUTTING PRESSURE.
Thanks to this system the blade regularly descends, with a constant auto-regulation for every material type, section and thickness.

Increased productivity: No operator during cutting cycle, Ø stops.

Longer blade life: Slows down the bow descent without straining the blade when worn out.

Always straight cut: Auto-regulation of blade-stress based on material hardness and section.

Fast cutting operations: Fully hydraulic cycle. More efficiency.

Easy to use: Practical, simple and ergonomic operations.

Why choose a Carif band saw

The heavy-duty structure ensures outstanding cutting performance on all types of materials and section sizes. All cutting capacities and technical data specified are referred to solid materials: whether cutting standard steels or high-strength materials, a CARIF band saw gives the same reliability and cutting efficiency.

Cutting perpendicularity is tested and guaranteed within decimal tolerances, with a maximum deviation of 0.2 mm every 100 mm.

Below you can find a few cutting examples. All cutting videos can be watched in the dedicated video page.

Note: To achieve optimal cutting performance and maintain straightness, it is essential to properly adjust the carbide inserts on the blade guides, to set the right cutting parameters Bow feed and cutting pressure. Additionally, the blade quality and, last but not least, the correct TPI configuration play a crucial role.

FAQ

Difference between hydraulic semi-automatic band saws and gravity-feed band saws

Many band saw manufacturers/sellers, for sales convenience and to keep prices competitive, do not clearly specify the type of machine they are offering, avoiding the distinction between hydraulic semi-automatic and gravity-fed band saws. However, the difference is substantial.

A simple gravity-fed band saw relies on the downward movement of the saw bow under its own weight; a cylinder with a valve supports and regulates +/- the descent. The blade therefore cuts purely by gravity, and the vise is closed manually by the operator.

Result: frequent blade breakage, the machine is not suitable for cutting profiles with thick sections and even less for solid materials, long cutting times, and constant operator presence required throughout the cycle.

In contrast, a hydraulic band saw is controlled by hydraulic oil which applies pressure to both the vise cylinder and the bow cylinder for the cutting feed. At cycle start, the vise clamps the material under pressure and the blade descends with a constant feed rate. At the end of the cut, the vise opens and the saw bow automatically returns to its initial position.

Why is it important to be able to adjust pressure as well as cutting feed?

On Carif band saws, it is also possible to adjust cutting pressure. The hydraulic pressure acts on the blade as it penetrates the workpiece, allowing a consistently controlled cutting feed.

Especially when the blade is fully engaged within the material and when cutting solid and tough materials (e.g. stainless steel), being able to adjust pressure is essential for a straight and uniform cut.

Therefore, for the same feed rate, pressure can be increased or decreased, significantly improving blade life.

 

How long does a blade last?

It is not possible to give an exact figure, as it depends on several factors such as: the type of material being cut (solid or tubular), correct cutting parameters for the material (blade speed and feed rate), correct blade tooth pitch, and the proper coolant concentration (recommended 8–10%).
