PCL BS-500 Double-Column Band Saw
The PCL BS-500 is a semi-automatic double-column band saw that cuts round bar up to Ø500 mm (19.7 in) and rectangles up to 500 × 500 mm. A hydraulic vise clamps the work, the saw frame feeds down two columns under hydraulic control, and a 5.5 kW main motor drives a 5800 × 41 × 1.3 mm bi-metal blade.

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
What is the cutting capacity of the BS-500?
Round bar up to Ø500 mm and rectangles up to 500 × 500 mm, at 90°.
Is the BS-500 automatic?
It is semi-automatic: the operator positions the bar, then the saw clamps, cuts and returns on its own. For automatic length feeding choose the matching A model.
What blade does the BS-500 use?
A 5800 × 41 × 1.3 mm bi-metal band saw blade. Choose the tooth pitch by the wall thickness or bar diameter you cut most.
How much does the BS-500 weigh?
About 1,950 kg. Plan for a forklift or crane to unload it and a level concrete floor.
Can it cut angles?
No, double-column saws cut at 90°. For angle cuts, see the miter band saws.
