What is it for?

The IMET BS 300 PLUS band saw is designed to cut metal materials, especially steel and cast iron, in small and medium productions. It is ideal for mechanical workshops and light carpentry, allowing precise cuts at different angles (up to 60° left and 45° right).

Components and Construction

The sawing machine is composed of:

• Rigid Cast Iron Frame : Guarantees stability during cutting.
• Band Blade : Precision blade supported by carbide bearings and guides for alignment and durability.
• 320 mm pulleys : Reduces stress on the blade, improving cutting precision.
• Cooling System : Tank and electric pump integrated into the machine base.
• Manual vice : Adjustable for inclined cuts, with guides that facilitate positioning and quick gripping of the material.

Existing Types

There are several variants of the BS 300 PLUS:

• Manual : Basic version with manual cutting.
• Semi-Automatic : With partial automatic functions, such as power supply and speed regulation via inverter.
• With Minimum Lubrication : Optional system that reduces lubricant consumption and improves the useful life of the blade.

When to use it

This saw is useful in applications that require precise cuts on metal materials in small to medium production contexts. It is suitable for working in metal carpentry, mechanical workshops and production environments where flexibility in angular cuts is required.

Workable Materials

The BS 300 PLUS is able to cut steel, cast iron, aluminum and other ferrous and non-ferrous materials, thanks to the adjustment of the blade speed which allows it to adapt to different hardnesses and sections of the materials.

Formulas and Calculations for Optimal Use

Some important formulas to optimize usage include:

• Cutting Speed ​​(Vc) : Vc=π×D×N1000 $V$ $c$ $=$ 1000 π × D × N ​where D $D$ is the blade diameter and N $N$ is the speed in rpm.
• Feed per Tooth (fz) : fz=Vfn×Z $f$ $z$ $=$ n × Z V f ​where Vf $V$ $f$ is the feed speed, n $n$ the number of revolutions and Z $Z$ the number of teeth.
• Blade tension : The blade tension is kept around 1700 kg/cm², to guarantee straight and vibration-free cuts.

How to Choose a Good Used Car

When buying a used one, check:

• Frame Condition : Must be free of cracks or signs of excessive wear.
• Condition of the Blade and Pulleys : The blade must not have missing or worn teeth, and the pulleys must be aligned and free from corrosion.
• Engine Functionality : Make sure the engine runs without abnormal noises and the speed is smoothly adjustable.
• Replaced Components : The presence of new components, such as the ammeter and power button, is a good sign of regular maintenance.

Why It's Better to Buy Used

Purchasing a used saw, such as the IMET BS 300 PLUS, is convenient for reducing initial costs while maintaining high performance. This machine is robust and, if well maintained, offers a long operating life at a lower cost than new.

Main Sectors of Use

This sawing machine is widely used in:

• Mechanical Workshops
• Metallic carpentry
• Metal Processing Centers
• Production of Metal Components

This versatility makes it an indispensable tool for those who work in the metalworking sector.
