Typical uses
- Blanks for CNC turning and forging, cut to the same length all shift
- Steel service centers with repeat orders
- Production lines where one operator runs several saws
- Long unattended runs with a chip conveyor
Before you order
Check three things: the largest section you cut (with some margin for the vise), the material grade and hardness, and how many cuts you need per shift. Tell us your voltage and frequency (for example 380 V 50 Hz or 440 V 60 Hz) so the motors and control are built for your grid. For blade choice, see our band saw blade TPI guide.

Frequently asked questions
How long a piece can the BS-500A cut?
Each stroke feeds up to 500 mm; for longer pieces the saw repeats strokes automatically before each cut.
How accurate is the length on the BS-500A?
Feeding accuracy is ±0.2 mm per stroke.
What is the capacity of the BS-500A?
Round stock up to Ø500 mm and rectangles up to 500 × 500 mm.
Can one operator run more than one saw?
Yes. After setting length and quantity, the saw runs the whole cycle and counts pieces, so the operator can load and watch other machines.
What is the difference from the semi-automatic BS-500?
The cutting capacity is similar; the automatic model adds the CNC shuttle feed, automatic clamping and piece counting for repeat cutting.
